It's really a workaround for the fact that sudo isn't configured by
default. I didn't think that I could safely use sudo in the example
commands, since even if the Hardening Guide was up and could be linked
to, there's no guarantee that the user/admin would have successfully
gone through the setup beforehand.
I like the idea of using sudo as well, but Stuart's obviously right in
the more global sense of not making assumptions when you're writing a
doc. But... do I sense the need for a sudo-tutorial? :-)
