Yes. I *HATE* sudo for this reason. Everyone tells me how wonderful it 
is and that i should be using it instead of whatever great lengths im 
going to to avoid it at the time. The problem with sudo is that it has 
been a MAJOR cause of local root exploits, including in openbsd, which I 
generally trust to be secure.
