[gentoo-user] sudo

[John Dangler]

I’m looking into setting up sudo on my latest test box (stage3/genkernel 2.6.12—r9) In portage, sudo says “Allows users or groups to run commands as other users”.  The latest stable shows 1.6.8_p9 (although the one before is it unstable, and the one before that is stable) hmm… Anyway, the use flags show “pam skey offensive ldap” Pam, I get… offensive and ldap – probably won’t use these.  But skey… skey says it’s a “Linux Port of OpenBSD Single-key Password System”  That’s all the info I’ve been able to find out so far… The connecting page is a Solaris page that doesn’t exist.  I’m trying to find out exactly what this means, since it’s a recommended piece from the Gentoo security handbook.   Any input as always is greatly appreciated…   John D
