Objections to sudo

[Mark Thompson]

You can also create aliases in your personal account so that you
do not have to type the sudo at all.

/bin/tcsh

alias passwd "/path/to/sudo /path/to/passwd \!*"

sudo aliases could be added to a file and sourced from within the
login scripts for the admin accounts.
