Both of those dates vastly predate Ubuntu.
To add: sudo itself pre-dates Linux itself by around 11 years - sudo was created closer to when su was created than to when the Linux kernel was created. sudo's config syntax is a little awkward, but it is a far superior solution over su when it comes to security. sudo _can_ be configured insecurely, but that's a function of who configures it and how, not the tool itself. You could also make su insecure with bad configuration. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
