No, ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful has nothing to do with sudo. It is an
Ubuntu thing that’s only used to display this message on the console if
you’re an administrator that has never used sudo:
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
(See /etc/bash.bashrc.)
