If someone can change permissions on sudo,
wouldn't that mean they could turn off any other permission checks
on the binary?  'ssh/d' does checks on files owned by the user
which the unprivileged, owning user can misconfigure.
The permissions on 'sudo' can only be set by 'root' so the only
misconfiguration of permissions would have to be done by root, no?
