Commercial Support Now Available For Sudo

Mr. Christmas Lights writes "sudo has been free software for over 20 years and 'allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments.' (Previous /. stories include how you can use it to distribute root access and also how Microsoft patents sudo - ummmm, have they heard of prior art?!?) While it will continue to be freely available, Todd Miller (the sudo maintainer for the last 10+ years) has decided to offer commercial support. For those thousands of Sysadmins out there who have benefited from sudo, here's your chance to thank Todd for a wonderful tool and also help support further development of sudo."

"Workstation 318 has a hyperlink or HTML browser 324 that allows a user of the workstation to "browse" hyperlinked documents the hyperlinked documents 322 include active or executable content such as Active Server Pages (ASPs) the information server executes any commands, scripts, or programs contained in the ASP document to set configuration parameters as indicated by the user through interaction with the hyperlinked documents 322. "

And yey it came to pass the 'click here to hack me' age of the Internet. Why do I have a feeling this is going to be another nice roller coaster ride of service pack upon fix pack.
