Granted, but sudo as configured in Ubuntu makes the use of a superuser password pointless. Sudo is configured to be a wide wide open door leading to any part of a computer's 'household'. In other words, sudo with the infamous 'user ALL=(ALL)' in /etc/sudoers makes root practically like any other user. Sudo does have its benefits but it must be used to control user privileges. Granting all commands to every user is the opposite of what security means. -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
