With ACLs, is there really a need for sudo?

Hi All

I am trying to get up to speed in understanding how I use all the features of grsecurity. In some cases it seems the features overlap or are better then some well used tools. In this case, sudo. With ACLs it seems I can restrict the
accounts to what they can and can not run. What advantage does keeping sudo have for me if I apply grsecurity ?

If you also know of any other well used tools which grsecurity replaces, please also reply here.

Thanks

Not really ACL but RBAC to SUDO

There seems to be some overlap on what RBAC does and SUDO. Does anyone have any examples where one is better suited for a certain task then another?
