No arguments, just downvotes… I almost suspect some participants do not even understand what might be wrong with “you are sudo”? I also bet you don’t have the right idea what the difference between effective UIDs might be depending if you’re using “su”, “su -i” , "su - " sudo or “sudo su”. The differences are not exactly subtile and I dare to say admins on unixoids who don’t know them are basically talking heads without an idea what they’re actually talking about.
I have no idea how any of this is different. Sudo does things as root. Sudo -i logs you in as root where you can do things. So if there is a difference it is v subtle.
