The super user is more powerful than god

2012-12-21T10:48:00

$ useradd god
$ mkdir a
$ chmod 000 a
$ su god -c ls a
ls: cannot open directory a: Permission denied
$ sudo ls a
$

And it can even tell god what to do:

$ sudo su god -c "sed -i 's/\(-DWINDOWS\|-DLINUX\)//' Makefile; make -B world"

Happy winter solstice.
