We use sudo also to get a logging of all system activities performed, so we try to stay away from 'sudo su -' or running private shell scripts under sudo. One of the gotchas I ran into is starting and stoppping of services, but you can do that as sudo su -c '/etc/init.d/named restart'
I can not think of anything that does not work like this, but then we also have the logged on root account on the 3270 and use that through SCIF (which is logged as well).
