Ubuntu Is Replacing SUDO. Should You?

Yes. The #OpenBSD version does not work as-is anywhere else. Basically: either one modifies the code to conditionally-compile out the OpenBSDisms and loses functionality, or one takes the OpenBSDisms out completely and replaces them with sudoisms.

#FreeBSD, #NetBSD, and #Arch Linux have both Smith's and Overbruck's versions; #Debian Linux only the latter; #SmartOS only the former.

One would have to touch the #FreeBSD kernel to get the full #OpenBSD functionality.

OpenBSD provides doas with a way to persist, by storing data in the session structure associated with the controlling terminal. FreeBSD would need to have that added.

The OpenDOAS fork (in FreeBSD ports) uses the more problematic flag files, per sudo, that OpenBSD was trying to get away from. So one must avoid starting from that instead of the original, moreover.

Je trouve #Sudo bien plus sécurisé que Doas. Si l'utilisateur a le MDP du sudo c'est qu'il sait comment s'en servir. Quand à l(utilisation de #visudo je ne suis pas pour. Comme admin je dis qu'il faut être fou pour donner les pleins pouvoir aux users.

Want to boost the message below but also remind folks that doas exists

Den #DOAS (Diamond Open Access Standard) gibt es jetzt auf deutsch 🎉 - Danke an alle Mitwirkende und vor allem Sona Arasteh-Roodsary!

I've read on what subsystems are used in HVAC systems

Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) it's just one of the many subsystems used

My rule is just permit keepenv, with no persist. It's #NetBSD rather than #FreeBSD so doas.conf is in /usr/pkg/etc/, and it definitely retains the environment.

persist does not work on other than #OpenBSD, as far as I am aware. Try it without persist to see whether that's the problem.

@rl_dane

Have you run

doas printenv MANPATH

?

You are about to learn the joy of doas.conf, I predict.

Anyone else suddenly find themselves deep into searching for dosa recipies online, triggered by mistyping doas at the command prompt and then thinking "I love dosa! I wonder how to make it,"?
No? ​:blobcat_smilignopenmouthsweating:​

Great write-up!

Agreed, the install process on #OpenBSD is really quite painless, especially since they added #FDE setup to the installer.

The fact that it isn't a #TUI is really minor.

Also, #doas is BAE. I install it everywhere else, including all my Linux boxen. 😁

@fefe_interim #doas(1) on #OpenBSD. Simple, clean, secure.

Rewriting #sudo into #rust was a bad idea. The main issue with sudo is its massive complexity and enormous amount for features and settings for a program that’s SUID. A memory safe language doesn’t magically fix this.

If you really want to bring memory safety into this space, then rewrite #doas into Rust.

#doas doesn't seem to support #U2F on #NixOS it's weird and should work but doesn't as /etc/pam.d/doas doesn't contain pam_u2f.so and /etc/pam.d/sudo does contain it..

FYI: I have added "security.pam.services.sudo.u2fAuth = true;" to config and as I see there is no same option for doas and I also tried other hacky ways with no hope.

@NebulaTide @kaixin @rubenerd Didn't know about opendoas, installed it and it really caches my password, cool!

The #eshell can also work with #doas like with #sudo :dragnhappy:

It's time!

Thank you once again to the OpenBSD people for their excellent tooling.
