Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis, it is not a replacement for the shell.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
Sudo will now set the nproc resource limit to unlimited on Linux systems to work around Linux's setuid() resource limit semantics. On PAM systems the resource limits will be reset by pam_limits.so before the command is executed. Sudo now has SELinux support that can be used to implement role based access control (RBAC). A role and (optional) type may be specified in sudoers or on the command line. These are then used in the security context that the command is run as. This release also fixes a Kerberos 5 compilation problem with MIT Kerberos.
