what does the prefix "suto" or "sudo" mean?

Answer 1

you sure you don't mean "pseudo?" If so, it means fake or false.

Answer 2

It gets used a lot to mean fake or substitute. For example, you might have older neighbors you affectionately call sudo-grandparents because they take on aspects of that role. I had a friend back in 2002 we teased about being sudo-indian. She was born in India and was genetically indian, but immigrated as a baby and was culturally VERY american (valley girl accent, blue jeans/t-shirt, loved cheesy pop music, etc).
The Linux operating system uses the term sudo when you want to impersonate a different user for elevated privileges, such as when installing software as an administrator (in windows this would be done using Run As...).

Answer 3

I think you mean pseudo- which means:

pseudo jargon
/soo'doh/ (Usenet) Pseudonym.
1. An electronic-mail or Usenet persona adopted by a human for amusement value or as a means of avoiding negative repercussions of one's net.behaviour; a "nom de Usenet", often associated with forged postings designed to conceal message origins. Perhaps the best-known and funniest hoax of this type is BIFF.
2. Notionally, a flamage-generating AI program simulating a Usenet user. Many flamers have been accused of actually being such entities, despite the fact that no AI program of the required sophistication yet exists. However, in 1989 there was a famous series of forged postings that used a phrase-frequency-based travesty generator to simulate the styles of several well-known flamers; it was based on large samples of their back postings (compare Dissociated Press). A significant number of people were fooled by the forgeries, and the debate over their authenticity was settled only when the perpetrator came forward to publicly admit the hoax.

Answer 4

the sudo you are spelling gives this definition:
sudo (super user do),[1] generally pronounced IPA: [sudu], is a program for Unix-like operating systems such as BSD, Mac OS X, and Linux that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user (normally the system's superuser) in a secure manner. By default it is installed in /usr/bin.

sudo was originally written by Bob Coggeshall and Cliff Spencer around 1980 at the Department of Computer Science at SUNY/Buffalo. The current version is maintained by OpenBSD developer Todd C Miller and distributed under a BSD-style license.
