If you own your own bank, then i think you login as the one with full previlages. Yes when doing administrator things, you have to use sudo. The problem with root with sudo is, you authenticate as a user, then gain full permission from root, i.e analogous to login in to bank with full previlages.

As a person who need to run sudo command its better to just verify yourself as root user to gain "full access". I'm not saying about partial previlages. That is i just need a script which is just su -c with environment variables being copied

I see where you're coming from, but in enterprise environments, you have admin accounts and root login is disabled for security purposes.

Sure. Sudo is a super useful tool in such places. The problem I have is that it is stuffed into the desktop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
