I was going to say this:
"And? It's a simple tool. It's not exactly the most complex thing in the world - it's not as though it needs multiple developers, as if/when the current dev drops the project another can easily step over".
And then I started flipping through some of the code. Man, sudo is complex. Much more so than one would naively assume.
- cakes 11y agoI started to have that same thought and so looked at the code and of course my next thought was along the lines of "Well...I mean it isn't like it changes that much, right?" and realized that I probably use such a tiny subset of what sudo can do. There is a lot more in the man page than I expected not to mention options I can even fathom needing (for myself, yet).
- likeclockwork 11y agoYou inspired me to read the sudo manpage, which I don't know if I've ever done. Found "sudo -e", so convenient.
- wmil 11y agoI'm actually more surprised that it's a single POSIX app. I would have assumed that there were separate GNU and BSD sudo projects.
