My only interest was in answering the question that was asked.
As far as I know the sudo program does not change the permissions
on the account that uses it.  The question of which method of
executing programs which require root permission is better may not
be cut and dried.  But to say that the answer to the question THAT
WAS ASKED is not cut and dried seems wrong to me.  As far as I know
there is only one way to make a root account with a name other than root.
It's all semantics of course but I have to assume that the guy asked
what he wanted to know.
