Starting with a fresh, untouched solaris install, that has just had "sudo" 
dropped on it: lets say I want to give someone sudo access.

I edit ONE file, and add ONE line.
done.
Also, you can rdist/rsync out a 'global' sudoers file.
Simple, yet very flexible.

Last time I checked, RBAC was not nearly that simple, and does not lend 
itself to scalability of administration across multiple machines. It's a 
very "local-only" solution. sudo is *designed to be* a multiple-machine 
solution.  RBAC does not appear to be so.
