Why should I use
doasinstead ofsudo? It's not even less typing.It is a much simpler program than sudo. A simpler and less complicated implementation means less vulnerabilities.
sudo had some serious vulnerabilities in the past: https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2021/01/27/cve-2021-3156/
Yeah, I really don't get why one is supposed to be better than the other.
Maybe doas gives you superer user privileges.
sudo is complex with a lot of code and options.
doas is small, simple & secure from OpenBSD.
If all you want is root priv without remembering two passwords on your box, doas is fine. If you want a complex system of admins and users with fine grained permission control sudo may be a better option.
I use ' su -' much of the time and just use a root shell.
Actively replacing sudo with doas on an OS that includes sudo in the base system seems pointless imo.
su ftw!
What other distros than Alpine uses doas by default?
There's a huge amount of Gentoo users using it, but there's OpenBSD who use it by default
Claims of there being a huge number of Gentoo users. Are there 3 digit numbers of them?
I wondered what SUDD and DDAS was..
