Wasn’t it 2017 where they had the race condition in
sudo su
as the command elevates up to root and drops back down?Every other year,
sudo su
was not unsafe but merely ghetto. ‘sudo su’ is the dutch-rudder of ‘sudo’.sudo steam
Real pros shuffle across the carpet to build a static charge and do their system administration by electrical fault injection.
REAL pros use butterflies!
Dammit, emacs.
sudo -u root bash

Missing the

.The

You’re going to start a fight with the

people.And the people that don’t use systemd.

All five of them.
there are dozens of us
There are a few of us, but our 2nd gen i3s will eat the shit out of your 5th gen i5s 😁.
Still not as bad as
chmod -R 777
.As a one time noob I may have done this once or more.
To get one thing working I borked everything.
Understanding permissions is pretty basic. But understanding permission requirements for system and user apps and their config and dirs can be a bit overwhelming at first.
Thinking a little change to make your life simpler will break something else doesn’t always register immediately.
Shit, even recently, wondering why my SSH keys were being refused and realising that somehow i set my private keys world readable.
Thank god SSH checks file and dir permission.
Jesus, every time I have to run glx or vaapi under a container I end up having to do this then cringe.
You don’t need to
Nah, there’s something broken, I think it’s because group render under the container has a different GID than the container so the acl fails and you either sudo or chmod.
Lxc is still a little wobbly in places.
I use podman and since it runs as my user it has exactly same same permissions as me. I just add my user to the proper group and it works.
Anyway for LXC you could just passthough a folder and then create a file. From there you can look at the file on the host to see who owns it. That will give you the needed information to set permissions correctly
Ahh, I’m running priveleged containers, I wrote my own scripted framework for containers around lxc in mostly python.
Basically I fell head over heels in love with freebsd jails and wanted them on Linux, then started running x11 apps in them, it’s my heroin.
Haven’t used podman outside proper k8s for work, did proxmox for a bit, but it was just a webgui for the same thing.
There were a bunch of online bug reports about the /dev/dri issue, maybe there’s a better solution now, but since this is my workstation I wasn’t as worried about security.
from the chmod or from the containers?
Once had a friend run
sudo chmod -R 777 /
on a (public) Minecraft server we were running back in highschool. It made me die a bit on the inside.Goodbye ssh access
Doesn’t it break a lot of things? Half the stuff refuses to work when some specific files have too permissive chmod.
Really only SSH and sudo broke. sudo would still work but you’d have to re-enter your password every time. It was a painful experience and I’m glad I know better now.
sudo vi
sudo -s vi &
Yeah. After that everything can be done with
!sh
.sudoedit is what you’re looking for. Don’t elevate the text editor.
Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks
Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn’t collapse before we replaced it.
A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin
That’s at least once a week
sudo rm -rf /* what could go wrong? (don’t try it)
Use Sudo -i instead. Sudo su is like cat file | grep pattern vs grep pattern file. You’re wasting resources.
Reminds me of all of those vendors that require Windows Admin for no reason.
Looking at you quickbooks network shares…
Its not like QuickBooks are sensitive data or anything
Then encrypt it…
More like I come in to fix someone’s aging infrastructure and find a QuickBooks share with read/write everyone because people are too lazy to RTFM.
sudo !!
:p
Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.
Oh yeah, I’m docking the shit ot of that container!

Not even arrow keys
I’m in jail because I was not in the sudoer file
This incident was, in fact, reported.
Well, you were warned 🤷.
