sudo -i ?
Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks
Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn’t collapse before we replaced it.
A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin
That’s at least once a week
Can’t programs steal sudo access if the timeout isn’t 0?
If on a brand new rig, it’s allowed.
What?
Oh, sorry, I misread programs as programmers 😁.
And no, I don’t think so. Credentials need to be cleared before exectution.
Okay. So you must invoke sudo fr on the exact same shell? It cant be taken from a subsequent script?
Credentials are inherited by every child process that the parent process invokes. Thus, if you give root credentials to a command, every subsequent command that the original one invokes will have root credentials.
There are some exceptions, but these are special case scenarios and are literally only a few.
That doesnt at all answer my concern but I’ll interpret the answer as no it doesn’t do that.
Sorry (again 😂, this happens quite a lot with you, lol), it’s early in the morning here, didn’t have my coffee yet.
If the question is can privileges be escalate later on while a command or a script is executing, the answer is yes. You can also deescalate them once the root creds stuff is done executing. You just have to make it clear in the script or the command that “you do this with root creds, but then you continue with user creds”.
The point I was trying to make with my previous comment was that, if a process (command, script, whatever) is ran with root privileges, every program, command, script it invokes later on is ran with root privileges, unless it’s specifically noted to run this or that part with some other privileges.
sudo -u root bashftwOr sudo bash
Missing the
-i.The
-iis not required.It’s silent.
I’m partial to sudo bash myself 👌
then at first day of work:
just use sudo su, we don’t have all day here.
“You’re absolutely right, we wouldn’t want to take too long to break the network or open god rights vulnerabilities”
And you give them the look and they shut up.
run0is the newsudo suYou’re going to start a fight with the
doaspeople.And the people that don’t use systemd.
All five of them.
there are dozens of us
There are a few of us, but our 2nd gen i3s will eat the shit out of your 5th gen i5s 😁.

sudo su - ?
Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.
Oh yeah, I’m docking the shit ot of that container!
Real pros shuffle across the carpet to build a static charge and do their system administration by electrical fault injection.
REAL pros use butterflies!
Dammit, emacs.
just worked a job where I did not have privlages to sudo commands. except su. had to sudo su so I could run a script.
Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction
Possibly but my role was such Im really only supposed to be working on my project and not monkey with the server which is used by other projects. I don’t think it was a restriction I think it was just laziness by whoever set it up.
Fair enough. Got a colleague who sudo nanos everything then wonders why he keeps getting permission denied errors later lol
…file in
~/.config…-
sudo nano /path/to/file… yeah, I wanna fucking save changes… OK, let’s see if it works… damn it, this distro fucking sucks man!Worst part is he’s the sysadmin
Jesus 🤦…
And this is why I never get bonuses. I just can’t be bothered with kissing upper management ass… tried it once… I walked out of the meeting with me telling them “less talking, more doing”… no one from upper management called me ever again. Even if they did have a computer problem, they just told the secretary to call me.
Oh god no not upper management lol we’re just in a small company
sudo !!:p
sudo rm -rf /* what could go wrong? (don’t try it)
Use Sudo -i instead. Sudo su is like cat file | grep pattern vs grep pattern file. You’re wasting resources.
Tell me you use Ubuntu without telling me you use Ubuntu.
Wait till you try this on Debian or non Ubuntu variants.
I ask out of ignorance - why would it be different?
Debian doesn’t have sudo by default, you have to install it manually
Not sure what they mean by “non Ubuntu variants” though since most other distros add it even when they aren’t Ubuntu based
Ubuntu uses Snaps for a lot of the software, thus, when you write
sudo apt install firefoxthat is actually an alias for “install firefox from snap”. Snaps get installed locally, not on the system (globally, for all users), but as a user, so you really can’t do much damage when you actually didn’t do anything to the system in the first place.Do
sudoshit on any other distro that doesn’t have a company behind it, see what happens.True, but not actually the reason, it’s because Debian doesn’t discourage the use of the root account, and
suis used instead ofsudo.Really? But why?
Because if you have sudo, you have root. Side effect of being a server system, too. During install, if you specify a root password, sudo is not installed. If you don’t, it is. Ubuntu just defaulted to the latter.
So that is why I always have to install sudo manually 🤦.
And I think older versions also left you at root, you had to define a user account manually. I think that’s not the case now as I recall (I haven’t installed Debian in a while).
Yea I switched from Ubuntu on my past few installs to avoid snaps. Glad I did, basically the same experience.
