[sclug] sudo / su

[Darren Davison]

hi SCLUGgers,

I've necessarily become acquainted with sudo since switching from gentoo to
*ubuntu, but there's something I'm unclear on with it.

If I try to do "sudo echo 1 > /proc/whatever" it fails with permission denied
errors.  It only works if I "sudo su -" and then change the value.  Could
someone kindly explain why?

Many thanks :)
