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

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

@rl_dane

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?

@pitrh @SamuraiSakura @inlovewithpda

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. ๐Ÿ˜

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 thatโ€™s SUID. A memory safe language doesnโ€™t magically fix this.

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

@le_friwi_56 i prefer to use #doas as an alternative to sudo more lighter just one file config /etc/doas.conf

#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:

Eshell with launched `doas ls' command. The password is asked in the minibuffer, not in the eshell. The prompt is "doas Password:".
