      This is the part that confused me most. At the first mention of web apps, I just thought, okay, if you have a web server you can have it run under a service account that can do what it needs to do. Sure. Kind of beside the point, but sure.

      Then this came at the end and and I did a double-take. He’s really suggesting a web app as a substitute for sudo in general? Two questions:

      1. Wat?
      2. Wut?
