Surely this takes substantially more time than sudo?
Presumably you have to give the argument in quotes,
and then give the password?
My thinking exactly.
And doesn't it give an alternative way for the hacker
to get the superuser password, eg by key-logging?
So is it even safer in the end?
If there's a keylogger, all bets are off anyway, so I wouldn't give
much weight to this as an argument.
