sudo

[Serg Belokamen]

Hi, 

Unless I am misstaking, which I am not since I have just tested this,
sudo powers are only given to the first user, added during system
installation. 

If you make another user, lets say by using adduser utility via a
console, that user will not have any "special" previllages.

   Cheers,
      Serg
