Require running update_openbsd as root It doesn't make sense to use SUDO to run specific bits because it is flaky. That is, sometimes the sudo timeout will happen before the next step so you will have to notice and type the password again. This is often a problem on machines with slower disks. It does mean downloading and verifying the sets as root instead of an normal user but that is not too big of a deal. It might be worthwhile to wrap the privileged actions in a function and figure out how to run that entire function as root but that's complication we don't actually need. Thanks to Chris Cappuccio for the suggestion.
