Install sudo Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The sudo package can be installed with the following command:

$ sudo yum install sudo

Rationale

sudo is a program designed to allow a system administrator to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow system users to get their work done.
