OpenBSD's "doas" is probably most well known I'm not talking about sudo, actually. I'm talking about suid, which if it is deprecated (not supported by distros; you can already turn it off), then doas won't work either. > but there are other things, as well as DIY solutions like ssh'ing to localhost. Yes, that is essentially what this does. > - For the cases like that - highly security-critical software without any special requirements - one would want widely-used, well-tested software. Yes, that is why I say not to use it. The whole point was to prove that you don't need systemd to get something working and that it could be relatively simple.
