For the Guys wich thinks sudo is bloated

and wanted to use opendoas, maybe already know that there exist opendoas-sudo in AUR for drop-in replacement (symlink doas to sudo) so you can type sudo (and programs wich use sudo) instead of doas (for convenience).

But there was still a thing like visudo missing.

So i forked vidoas (see links below) and changed it for Arch specifics. And created a drop-in replacement for it too.

See:

https://github.com/solisinvictum/vidoas
https://github.com/solisinvictum/vidoas-visudo

AUR Links:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vidoas-visudo

You don't even need opendoas or any kind of third party program to install, just use su.

I even wrote a wrapper script:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
su root -c "$*"

If you just want to run certain commands as root without putting in any password, my project https://github.com/Lancia-Greggori/priv might interest you.
