Yes, Alan, you're right, I'm on a single-user machine. I apologize, I
should have made it clear. Indeed, I can see that in a multi-users
machine sudo is useful. I just don't agree on the Ubuntu policy of
using sudo instead of root by default, assuming that it provides more
security. I don't want to start a flame war about sudo vs su, sorry if
I sounded rough!

Best regards,
