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.
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, 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.

Now that you’ve mentioned how complex they are, can you share a few alternatives, apart from run0?
doas
is relativly simple (a few hundred LOC), especially compared tosudo
. The main benefit ofrun0
overdoas
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 await your much improved solution then. It sounds so simple, I bet you knock it out over the weekend, right?

Found ssu here : https://github.com/illiliti/ssu Can’t find rdo. What is it ?
