[$] Sudo and its alternatives

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 19:19:58 +0000

Description:
Sudo is a ubiquitous tool for running
commands 
with the privileges of another user on Unix-like operating systems. Over
the past decade or so, 
some alternatives have
been developed;  the base system of OpenBSD now comes with doas instead, 
sudo-rs is a subset of
sudo reimplemented in Rust, and, somewhat surprisingly, Microsoft also
recently announced its own Sudo for Windows.  Each of these offers a 
different approach to the
task of providing limited privileges to unprivileged users.
