[gentoo-user] OT - sudo doesn't do echo

[Bill Roberts]

I've started using sudo in preference to su'ing, but I've found that
"echo" doesn't seem to work with sudo. 

When I:

$ sudo echo something >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
-/bin/bash: /etc/portage/package.keywords: Permission denied

I look at the permissions:

ls -l /etc/portage/package.keywords
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 520 Apr  8 06:11 /etc/portage/package.keywords

Then I scratch my head.

Anyone explain why?
