To SUDO or not to SUDO?

Passwordless sudo is a usability feature based on arguable security logic in an outdated code comment.

The best generic practice is not to install unneeded software.

FYI, “passwordless-root is a requirement for the management disposable when
used for salt, and otherwise as intended”
.

Just using -u root to start a terminal on the VM from dom0 seems to me to be the best option.

Holding the Shift key in qui-domains is even easier.
