tripwire alias in .cshrc

It gets old typing sudo tripwire -m u -r reportnumber day after day so I tried an alias in my .cshrc, and it
seemed to work
Code:
alias tw 'sudo tripwire -m u -r'
, and i just have to run
Code:
tw reportnumber
.
I was just wondering if there was (or might be) a security issue aliasing a sudo command in my own .cshrc.

The reason I say it seemed to work is I didn't wq the update as I had already updated the report today,
but I did try tw reportnumber and it appeared to open it for writing. I won't know for sure until I actuall wq
the next report and see if it actually writes.
