Commercial Support Now Available For Sudo 30
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."

Who is this 'Todd Miller' you speak of? (Score:2, Funny)
Have I? I wish I had a paypal account and hope some
I think I should take him through the courts for some patent violation or something!
He might be older than me and cite prior art though!
(from back when the web was young, but I'm dating myself...)
From his site, either he is older than me, or he has unusual tastes!
