It's a home grown beast called slide...given to me by a guy who wrote
it for use on his sun boxes.
I only use it on boxes I admin, and the reason I use it is that it's
like a combination of su and sudo, but without having to know the
root password. As with sudo, you have to be a member of the group
which will have access to the program. Like sudo, it allows you to
run a single command and then drops you back to your shell. But,
like su, you can enter a root shell and run multiple commands as
necessary. Unlike su, however, you do not have to give anyone your
root password, and if you don't want someone to have root access,
anymore, you simply remove them from the group.
