Super and sudo

I have received some enquiries regarding the difference between super
and sudo, another program designed to give restricted access to certain
commands.

Sudo --
    Sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser.
    I think its central design philosophy is that each user can be
    trusted when executing certain commands.  This is implemented
    by allowing each user to execute the restricted commands for
    which s/he is trusted, without giving access to other restricted commands.

Super --
    The design philosophy behind super is two-fold:
    (a) some users can be trusted when executing certain commands;
    (b) there are some commands, such as a script to mount CDROM's,
        which you'd like to be safely executable even by users who
        are NOT trusted.  Although setuid-root scripts are insecure,
        a good setuid-root wrapper around a sensible non-setuid script
        can be hard to break, and super provides that wrapper so that
        even a non-trusted user can use the scripts.

In my view, the main differences to the administrator and user are:

    (1) super provides a safe wrapper for scripts, so that a
        well-written script can be run safely by ordinary
        users without having to actually trust them.

    (2) super provides a simple symlink method for invoking "super"-ed
        commands without needing to explicitly type "super cmd..."

    (3) the files that specify valid user/command combinations have
        a different look and feel.

    (4) of course there are dozens of differences in details and in
        feature sets.  Read the man pages of both and choose that which
        suits you better!
