8.9.4. Administratorrechte gemeinsam nutzen
Frequently, several administrators work on the same network. Sharing the root passwords is not very elegant, and opens the door for abuse due to the anonymity such sharing creates. The solution to this problem is the sudo
program, which allows certain users to execute certain commands with special rights. In the most common use case, sudo
allows a trusted user to execute any command as root. To do so, the user simply executes sudo command
and authenticates using their personal password.
Komplexere Konfigurationen ermöglichen es, bestimmte Befehle nur bestimmten Benutzern zu erlauben. Alle Einzelheiten der verschiedenen Möglichkeiten werden auf der Handbuchseite sudoers(5) beschrieben.
