Is it indiferent to use su or sudo, at running a Bitcoin Full Node in Linux, in terms of security? I have heard that using sudo is more insecure overall than using su, but, does it affect an encrypted program like a BitcoinCore node? I do not fear an internal attack, but I do fear the external ones. If the former answer is affirmative, how can I access to the data directory (I have already installed it in the su way)? I would like to delete the wallet.dat from there, and substitute it with my wallet, but the computer tells me I do not have the permission, were shall I introduce the root pass-phrase to have access to it? As an extra information, I am using Debian 9 and GNOME. http://ift.tt/2kooHtY
