Differences in password
Porteus 4.0
sudo: guest
su: toor
Porteus 5.0
sudo: toor
su: toor
Why this difference?
I've used in 4.0 in scripts many times such commands:
echo guest | sudo -S activate ....
and similar commands
All of that has to be changed now

since I hardly ever use sudo this discrepancy never occurred to me.
funny insults by sudo aside, you are correct. in 4.0 sudo should also use the pw that su uses.

I guess the change makes sense.
We have 2 credentials by default:
user: guest / pass: guest
user: root / pass: toor
If we want to give admin rights to guest user, we should have a different password, and just to avoid
tseug, toor was chosen to keep it easier to remember

but by that logic, both su and sudo should use toor as password. But in 4.0, sudo uses "guest" as password for guest to run as root when it also should be toor.
