I'm having a difficult time understanding why the following entry  
exists in default installations in several popular Linux distributions:


[root at foohost ~]# grep ^root /etc/sudoers
root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL


What are the use cases where this would be justified / desired?


kind regards,


Terry
