This is the same logic as "sudo forces people to think about what they're typing", which it doesn't, it just makes you type sudo and your password really quickly and equally mindlessly.
- iso1631 4y agosudo sticks what you're doing in your auth.log file which is fired off to your syslog server, so you've got a chance of knowing how you messed up, or who else messed up
- lamontcg 4y agowe solved that at amazon by patching bash and tcsh to send logs to syslog (honeypot patches).
- Kaze404 4y agoIt does once you get past using sudo as second attempt at running a command that failed for a reason you don't understand.
- lamontcg 4y agoNo it really doesn't, you just get quick at typing "sudo shutdown -r now" and typing your password quick and when do that it on prod it is just as mindless as "shutdown -r now". You can't make people think via extra steps.
- Kaze404 4y agoSurely that's just your view on it? I've been using Linux since I was a kid and it's definitely not how I or the people I know use sudo. Lol
