[ale] to sudo or not to sudo

[leam hall]

So you ran the script as you, it is owned by you and not SUID or SGID, and
had something like:

sudo /usr/bin/dostuff
touch /tmp/myfile

And /tmp/myfile was owned by root? Oddness, it should have been owned by
you. Maybe check if there's a -c option to sudo to run just that one
command?
