pfexec as sudo replacement

To use pfexec similarly to sudo, use “usermod” to give the account the “Primary Administrator” profile:

# usermod -P'Primary Administrator' aleonard

“aleonard” will now be able to preface commands with “pfexec” to run them as root, similar to sudo when configured not to prompt for a password.
