sudo, or not sudo: that is the question

sudo can do some things more easily than RBAC can, and RBAC can do other things more easily than sudo can. By judicious composition of your sudoers file, you can lock down the full command line with predermined arguments, but RBAC gives you some access to kernel security niceness. From prior experience sudo gives you a little more rope, but wont stop you hanging yourself, while RBAC is miserly with the cord but accidental garotting is more difficult
