 Ni> sudo is a program that runs a program as root in Linux (sudo is short for
 Ni> "superuser do"). That's my understanding of it, unless there's more to it.

I may have heard it wrong but I thought I heard Rob say at one time that sbbs
was setup to bind the ports with sudo, then revert back to regular user
privelidges, as I say "afaik" I may be completely wrong. now SU or loging in as
regular root, or running the software as root would give it root prv at all
times and not just to bind. like I said, I may be completely wrong here. I just
know I have tested cli apps as doors under shell running with su and it
would'nt allow these apps to do superuser commands without issuing an su again.
