[[[But not for editing files, you can use standard *nix permissions
or even ACL, there's zero need to use sudo for something like
this. You just don't seem to want to get? Or perhaps need to
learn more how unix works, this ain't no doze! ]]]

I do see what you mean by 'vi edits' and you make a valid point. I
take back what I posted earlier about "shell escapes and sudo
permissions". I'll ignore that "barb" about learning *nix -- I've been
doing nix for well over 12 years now.

Also you might want to double-check your ability to put a point across
in an amicable manner...
