put yourself in the "wheel" group. (I recommend then giving yourself sudo
access simply with "%wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL", but whatever.)

Then, append the line "UGROUPS=wheel" to the end of every file in
/etc/security/console.apps which you want to have sudo-like behavior.

Unfortunately, there's no way to do this globally, but a little shell loop
could do the trick.
