sudo predates most (all?) Unix MAC solutions. Nowadays, PolKit can do most of its job in a more fine-grained way.

- marios 10y agoI still prefer sudo to PolKit. The syntax used in the sudo configuration file is quite error prone (which is why it is recommended to use visudo, as a way to not lock yourself out due to an invalid configuration), I still prefer that to PolKit's XML .policy files. Recent version can use JavaScript instead, but as far as I am concerned, it's equally bad.
