Sudo even more secure

[Joel Edwards]

Unfortunately, it is easy to forget that you are the root user, since it is
still using your .bashrc file. 'sudo su' works just as well, but it uses the
roots actual .bashrc

Is it just me, or does sudo -s seem like a security problem for forgetful
people (like myself).
