Doas – dedicated OpenBSD application subexecutor

And before there was &quot;doas&quot; there was setuidgid and envuidgid.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cr.yp.to&#x2F;daemontools&#x2F;setuidgid.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cr.yp.to&#x2F;daemontools&#x2F;setuidgid.html</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cr.yp.to&#x2F;daemontools&#x2F;envuidgid.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cr.yp.to&#x2F;daemontools&#x2F;envuidgid.html</a>

I was initially skeptical but the superior simplicity and rigor won me over.<p>protip: nixos lets you use doas instead of (or in addition to) sudo. Since i run obsd serverside and nixos on the edge, this works great for me<p>programs.doas.enable = true;

For those whose muscle memory is all confused now there&#x27;s OpenDoas: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Duncaen&#x2F;OpenDoas">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Duncaen&#x2F;OpenDoas</a>

Off topic:<p>Love OpenBSD.<p>Wish so much Hammer2 comes to it because OpenBSD innovates so much but their file system is lacking.<p>There is an attempt to port DragonflyBDS Hammer2, and hope OpenBSD accepts it.<p>Last updated 3-days ago.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kusumi&#x2F;openbsd_hammer2">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kusumi&#x2F;openbsd_hammer2</a>

is this actually going to wind up stopping Sudo bash or is this &quot;if you use it right you don&#x27;t need to&quot; which is a euphemism for &quot;yea but everyone does&quot;

Does doas have equivalents to the -i and -E flags in sudo? I use both of those frequently.

Am I seeing the page correctly or someone get hacked?<p>&quot;that&#x27;s some bullshit&quot;<p>I assume someone just doesn&#x27;t like that OpenBSD does something other than sudo (which you can actually use either)?
