Description: Provide limited super user privileges to specific users
Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give
as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done.

This version is built with minimal shared library dependencies, use the
sudo-ldap package instead if you need LDAP support for sudoers.
