Anyone else here who just loves sudo? I adore sudo. I can't stop saying sudo. Sudo. I find myself using sudo on tasks that don't even require sudo (ill-advised, I know) just so I can type, see and say sudo.. Sudo cp. Sudo mv. Sudo touch. Sudo mkdir. Sudo time. I no longer become root, I become sudo. It transferred over to real life, too. When I do my math problem sets I use sudo. When I'm stuck on a particular problem I just switch to sudo su and I instantly solve it. I no longer raise my tone when speaking; I just sudo the sentences that I want made perfectly clear. I dream sudo. I even typed this post out just so I can type sudo many times. That question at the beginning is a rhetorical one. I already know the answer -- everyone loves sudo.
Sudo
How bored are you

What distro do you use that doesn't have an /etc/sudoers file...
People who don't understand why sudo is best practice are usually the ones who destroy themselves accidentally as root.
I wqs actually just getting ready for bed when another sudo rush came over me but I had just turned off my laptop. So I came here on my phone to satisfy my urges. I have to do it, otherwise the lusting turns into craving and then the craving becomes yearning. You don't ever want to yearn sudo. Just a quick post like this is enough to keep me balanced for a few hours.
sudo sweet dreams you maniac sudo creep
>People who don't understand why sudo is best practice are usually the ones who destroy themselves accidentally as root.
sudo is absolutely useless on single-user systems. All the important stuff is in your home directory, which you can completely ravage without sudo. Who gives a shit about nuking the OS, you can reinstall that in 15 minutes. Your personal data and settings, however...
Debian installer gives you a choice, if you don't specify a root password it locks out the root account and makes you a sudoer, if you do set a root password, then it doesn't set up sudo at all, and its a package you have to install if you want to use it.
I forget if some of the roll-your-own distros like Arch and Gentoo include it with the coreutils and shit or whether they make you install it yourself if you want it.
better than setuid binaries or some retard building some garbage IPC root running piece of shit super daemon because people are fucking stupid.
its also about malware and hackers you fucking idiot
>sudo su
just sudo -i dipshit wtf are you doing?
sudo is useful when you have 2 administrators. Both can work as root but retain their individual preferences, screenrc, vimrc etc
...
>which you can completely ravage without sudo
maybe for you dipshit.
there is this thing called labels & policies dipshit. maybe you should use them.
yeah it's pretty flexible but it's easy to blow gaping holes in your system with it
also
>not doas if you're just elevating privileges
I wish sudo blew my gaping hole.
Alright mister smarty pants.
1. I'm not saying everyone should have full access rights to the whole system, only that `sudo' is superfluous.
2. If a virus or hacker has access to your user, it/they can still mess with your personal files, wether sudo is installed on the system or not.
what is the harsh language good for, sempai? tell me, what are you talking about?
mandatory access control.
selinux allows you to define granular privileges for your binaries; like what they can read, write, etc.
to reply to both your points, sudo keeps both malware and hackers from fucking up your system. who cares about your porn and memes, those are backed up right?you can restore quickly and easily at any time. any sensitive data should be secured with additional passwords and encryption and probably not even stored on your main machine, thats not what sudo is trying to protect. sudo is there to prevent you from wasting time reinstalling your system AND from having malware run on it such as logging, turning your webcam on, NSA, whatever
So what happens when you do want to remove a certain file in your homedir?
sudo is not a prevention of anything, it's the opposite. It allows users to do things.
How on Earth does sudo protect you from malware?
you are confusing the tool itself with why the tool was made in the first place. yes you use the tool to do things with escalated priv. but the reason that was put in place was to prevent anything else to run with those escalated priv. without permission (your pw). think of it was window's UAC
sudo was written in 1980, way before malware, hackers, mass surveillance and the mainstream Internet were a thing. It was written for administrators of multi-user systems.
sudo dot ws/intro.html
is this OC?
right and? are you saying they didnt have the foresight to realize they need to protect their systems? everything i said is still correct because it also applies to anyone with physical access to a system.
I can give you physical access to a keyboard and monitor of my machine with my user logged in. It doesn't have sudo installed, I'm sure you won't be able to do anything to the system itself.
meant to quote
>used to sudo this, sudo that, sudo everything
>finally started using sudo -i and doing admin stuff there and ctrl-d'ing to exit once done
so comfy
You should sudo -snu at times.
Dont use sudo su -, use sudo -i.
Also I like doas.
Difference?
sudo!
/tmp!
Sudo has a pretty rocky security history, doas is a ground-up redesign by OpenBSD, and I like the way policy works better in doas. Suodoers has a real fucking gotcha in the include line.
This. I use FreeBSD, and I just use 'su -'.
I say su doe instead of su du.
samesies
me as well
With Arch you install the base system as root. Afterwards you can create other user accounts and edit your sudoers file.
there is none.
doas has the same design choices of sudo but it's less mature.
don't let the memers tell you otherwise. doas struggles with the same problem of safe env and shit as well.
pfexec!
