  • systemd

    The systemd System and Service Manager

  • > 3. even `adduser` will not allow it by default

    5. useradd does allow it (as noted in a comment). 6. Local users are not the only source, there things like LDAP and AD.

    7. POSIX allows it:

  • sudo

    Utility to execute a command as another user

  • It depends on whether sudo was compiled with --disable-env-reset or not, it's on by default[1].

    Also some variables are inherited regardless (e.g. DISPLAY, TERM), and some useful ones (e.g. HOME) are initialized by sudo, but I can't tell where that's done.

  • sudo-rs

    A memory safe implementation of sudo and su.

  • There is also a write of sudo in Rust, which works more akin to the traditional sudo but memory-safe and with fewer bugs: https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/sudo-first-stable-release/

    Source code: https://github.com/memorysafety/sudo-rs

    And if you are running Debian 13 (trixie) or later, or Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) or later, you can already install it using `apt install sudo-rs`.

  • unpkg

    The CDN for everything on npm

  • Just a short reminder that Lennart is working for Microsoft. https://unpkg.com/@material-design-icons/[email protected]/outline...
