While looking for something else in Synaptic, I saw a program called Calife. The description says:
Quote:
Calife is a lightweight alternative to Sudo.
It allows selected users to obtain a shell with the identity
of root, or another user, after entering their own password.
This permits the system administrator to grant root privileges
without sharing the root password.

Does anyone use this program? Why would I want it instead of sudo? I installed it and tried using it to see what would happen, but it just kept saying "Calife failed. Sorry, trying to run su." Just curious.
