If that's current thinking, then it's changed.  I've been administrating 
Unix systems for about 25 years.  Sudo didn't exist and you needed to su 
in order to do admin tasks.  It was accepted and expected.  You couldn't 
install SunOS, HPUX, UNICOS or Irix without it.  I'm afraid this old dog 
isn't learning new tricks, I use sudo -s or sudo -i on a regular basis 
when I don't have su enabled.
