Hi All,
This is my very first post to Forum, infact to AO.
I wanted to know the significance/relevance of the putting "sudo" command that is usually there is most Unix, Linux System. If this command is an ALTERNATIVE-TO-ROOT. Then isn't this SUICIDAL. Does this make a log if yes then in which file.

To put some pretext for the Query lemme say...
I tried this command to alter permission of so-called READONLY "passwd" file, as an ordinary user & I succeeded. Successively I was able to add one user having rOOt PoweRs (Don't ask me how?) whichout even root to letting it know . Now the Question is How could I change "passwd" [ or "shadow" file, as I did ]. Is there any "sudo" log that would have an entry of this.


ThanX in adVANce
