@[email protected] If you want you can, installing OpenBSD is lot easy than Gentoo/Archlinux but after of course you need to read handbook/wiki/guides/youtubetutors, the most thing you shouldn't give up on process I tried many disdros and on many of them I stuck when I first saw OpenBSD I got confused there wasn't apt/pacman/xbps even #sudo wasn't there it was #doas and pkg_add not systemctl it was rcctl and many other. But what i did to learn these I just tried, no one stand by me and teach what to do I just asked around in #irc community, wiki pages, youtube guides, it became my new hobbie, day by day, now I'm running my own OpenBSD vps I got my own #got server it is minimalist alternative of #git version focused on security by default, I got my own email server, even this account runs inside of it, Whole message I want to deliver to you is keep trying, you don't need motivation to achieve you just need to want it, Do you ever notice ants? How they act when they cannot reach on top of smthing they trying another way until they reach on top they just keep trying. If you stuck somewhere reach to us, we're together anytime glad to help you.

permit setenv { WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_RUNTIME_DIR } nopass g
as ff
doas -u ff firefox
-----------------------------------------------------
With help of AI I have written a simple bash scrippt that
output average network bandwidth by reading directly
from /proc/net/dev

I think 70 lines is better than some special app with
writing output parser for it. #dailyreport #linux #administration #permissions #secops #sudo #doas #network #bash #proc

Title: P0: Doas instead of sudo [2025-05-04 Sun]

#sudo #doas #network #bash #proc
Sudo command is overburden, I switched to Doas tool from
FreeBSD project that lighter by weight. I don't use SU
command, because it require PAM framework, that I don't
use.

Before:
larry ALL=(ff) NOPASSWD: ALL
sudo --preserve-env=WAYLAND_DISPLAY,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -u ff
firefox

After: #sudo #doas #network #bash #proc #dailyreport #linux #administration #permissions #secops #sudo #doas #network #bash #proc

Yes. The #OpenBSD version does not work as-is anywhere else. Basically: either one modifies the code to conditionally-compile out the OpenBSDisms and loses functionality, or one takes the OpenBSDisms out completely and replaces them with sudoisms.

#FreeBSD, #NetBSD, and #Arch Linux have both Smith's and Overbruck's versions; #Debian Linux only the latter; #SmartOS only the former.

One would have to touch the #FreeBSD kernel to get the full #OpenBSD functionality.

OpenBSD provides doas with a way to persist, by storing data in the session structure associated with the controlling terminal. FreeBSD would need to have that added.

The OpenDOAS fork (in FreeBSD ports) uses the more problematic flag files, per sudo, that OpenBSD was trying to get away from. So one must avoid starting from that instead of the original, moreover.
