Quoting Alessandro Selli (alessandrose...@linux.com): > I argued against the assertion by Rick Moen that sudo constitutes "a > proxy for the root password"...
I did not so state. I characterised a particular usage model of sudo as such. As for the rest, if it's not apparent to you that letting a credential for normal user login also suffice for root privilege weakens security over escalation to root requiring a separate password, I would prefer to abandon further discussion as fruitless, and I do regret that this turned out to be the case. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
