I've been told that there is an equivalent of Linux's "sudo" option
available for BSDi, but the individual who mentioned this couldn't
recall off the top of his head what it was called. 

Anyone know of a program that can accomplish the same task as sudoer?

If your not familiar with Sudoer it allows certain users "root-like"
access to certain commands (ie, passwd, adduser, etc. etc...)

Thanks in advance.
