Another way to do it would be to have the "invisible" sudo similar to
NEEDSUDO=""
if [ "`id -u`" != 0 ] ; then
NEEDSUDO="sudo"
fi
echo abc | $NEEDSUDO tee /tmp/t
Then, if the uid is not 0 (root), then it inserts the sudo line...If run by
root, then NEEDSUDO is empty.

It doesn't make any sense to use sudo as root without an "-u user"
(and therefore to sudo to root as root) but it should work.

sudo means what super user can do, you can also do provided you have given
permission in /etc/sudoers file.
By default in certain system sudoers file is read only.If you want to change
that file make it writeable,modify and then again make it read only.

I have used sudo as root - but with a username as an argument. Without
a username, it defaults to root, and I can't figur
