When I used doas the other day to gain the rights of a user it asked me for a password which I didn't expect, as I was root. Confirming that there was no additional restriction somehow (I didn't think there would be but it doesn't hurt) made me wonder why doas was different. I couldn't find any acknowledgement of this state nor at a look through related documentation any indication of whether it was intentional or accidental. In short, words to the effect of what I wrote would have made it clear immediately that it's understood and for good reason, ie. not complicating a simple tool, and I've have moved on to the next thing happy. Frankly I thought no more of the issue after Ingo's response the other day but on the way home the wording I sent earlier (more or less) popped into my head and I thought I'd share. 'twould have been nice to see. Nothing more. Matthew
