In the past I thought that su and sudo are equivalent regarding the executed
command. This seems to be not the case.
I experienced the following weired situation:
I logged in as a "normal" user.
I typed: sudo bootadm ........
now I was prompted for a password. I entered the root password which was
somehow rejected ("Sorry, try again").
On the other side if I type:
sudo
<password>
bootadm....
then everything works fine.
So why is there a difference between "su" and "sudo"?
