Message definition (Linux Security)

While {{ic|sudo}} and {{ic|su}} look similar and both involve root access they are very different. {{ic|sudo}} runs a single command as another user and requests the password of your normal user account. {{ic|su}} lets you *become* root and requests the password of the root user. In general, it is usually safer to use sudo than to use su.
