+Description: really - a tool for gaining privilege (simple, realistic sudo)
+ really is a program that allows certain users to become whatever user
+ they like on request. It is a bit like sudo in that respect.
+ However, really is simpler than sudo, and doesn't give the system
+ administrator any false security promises. So really is less of a
+ general security risk to the system.
+ .
+ Unlike sudo it does not pretend that the called account can be any
+ more secure than the calling account. so there is never a need for a
+ password. If you wanted to restrict which commands and functions the
+ called user can perform, use userv, not really or sudo.
+ .
+ Also unlike sudo, really only works if the calling user is supposed
+ to be equivalent to root. But, really can also be used by
+ root-equivalent users to become any user, not just root; in this way
+ it can be a replacement for certain uses of su.
