[PTLsim-devel] The root priviledge problem

Thu Apr 10 18:24:06 EDT 2008

Heh, if he gives you access to all these commands, he might as well give you
the whole machine. :)
In other words, it doesn't elevate the security :) Or at least not a lot.
Just ask for one cheap 64-bit machine. You can get one for less then 300€
now, for sure :) Or you can buy one used yourself, for even less then that.
I use sudo just for the comfort of using my user account.
