[UFO Chicago] sudo exploit

	Far better to have something like the following:

%listmgrs	ALL=/usr/sbin/newlist

	So that people in the "listmgrs" group can make new mailing
lists without having root power for everything else.  That way you can
delegate jobs out.  I won't deny that this has its own security
implications (what if the newlist program is susceptible to attack?).
