You have to
consider whether you want to mention sudo or su or both if this is made
a option. Dismissing concerns as poor without being involved is pretty
easy. Documentation is far from the only concern with adding more options.
We could easily set up the sudoers file like this:
a) for wheel-group members, auth-as-self.
b) for non-wheel-group-members, sudo prompts for the *root* password.
Then, 'su -c "command"' could be replaced with "sudo command"
in the
documentation and would be correct in both cases. And since sudo has several
advantages over 'su -c', this is a win-win.
