[$] Sudo and its alternatives
Wednesday February 21, 2024. 08:19 PM , from LWN.net
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.
