[clue-admin] server config changes - sudo use

It occurred to me that folks who have sudo access should not simply sudo su or 
sudo su - root - this leaves no system log trace of commands you executed as 
root.

So, if you want to run root commands, put /sbin and /usr/sbin/ into your path 
and make sure you prefix such commands with sudo, e.g., 

 $ sudo useradd bob ...

This will leave a nice audit trail so [other] folks can see what changed.
