There are lots of things VMS considers to be security relevant
where Unix does not care.

So you think requiring elevated proviledges is less of a security
threat?

Of course, absent password sharing, "elevated privileges" is the way such
things are done in a modern Unix as well.

sudo and /etc/sudoers.

The sysadmin gives specific users specific permission to run
specific programs.


I only wish that I could enter 'sudo' and type my password and then
stay in a context where I could do multiple commands with the 'sudo'
authorized privies.

i.e.

% sudo
Password: ******
sudo% command
sudo% command
sudo% command
sudo% exit

Well, sudo is for specific commands and not general use. But it
wouldn't take much to provide a menu that had more than one command
available at any given time. If you are looking for general command
execution use plain "su".
