    Sudo and doas are 1000x (in loc) more complex than they need to be for destop pc. Yet they are always default installed and some tools even expect them.

    edit: didn’t know that doas is that small. I thought it has ~1/10 of sudo’s code but it’s actually ~2k vs. 132k of sudo.

      I await your much improved solution then. It sounds so simple, I bet you knock it out over the weekend, right?

        Actually, i thought about merging rdo and ssu, both a bit over 100 loc in C. Yes, it would be feasible over a weekend. I just have a lot of other stuff i need to do first.

        doas is relativly simple (a few hundred LOC), especially compared to sudo. The main benefit of run0 over doas is that it isn’t a SUID binary, they are similary complex.

          Actually it’s close to 2k lines of code (1,946 to be exact). But yes, it’s certainly a lot simpler than sudo (132k).

        I use rdo and ssu, each with a bit over 100 loc C code. Though they both have their own strong and weak points, i’m sure there are other similiar tools around.
