Re: Could sudo be an security issue?



yes this is so true, but would you really give root to someone who does not follow the rules to begin with? if i ever saw that they did that in the logs, the would never have root again...

Hi,
good point, but this is not entirely true.
In the case where a user simply does a sudo su - or a sudo sh
only the first command will be logged.

just a note in case you strictly rely on sudo's loggin capabilities to see what user does what on a network. :)

going back to root means that you do not know who did what.  sudo gets
logged, so you know who did what.  that is way more important security
wise than not running sudo and having 5 people use root wih no logging.
the second hing is that if you did wan to limit people to certain
commands you can.  with out it you are forced to give them rot, and that
means unlimited power.
