Everything You Need to Know About sudo | Linux Essentials Tutorial

q on visudo is just wrong. it should be something like wq! , i will assume q is just quit

I really love the part, of giving partial root access.

I am literally brand new to Linux so these videos have been helpful.
on a completely unrelated note, I hope you fixed that multi-frame poster on the wall behind you...

Please what does sudo bash do?

Excellence 🎉giveaway thanks 😊

Jay, maybe you can give me an advise. I have a bash script that will be executed by a no-root user , but in the script needs to run a chown command (root privilege) what is the safer way to do it?? should i add the user to the sudoers file with the privilege to run chown command? Its a good practice to have sudo command within a script?

Many thanks. Nice instructional video!

S u d oh!

"sudo !!"
It is going to help me a lot, thank you!!

Your tutorials are very appreciated; they are clear and well thought out so that every possible question is answered and there is no confusion leftover, with some side knowledge showing useful tricks (like !! enters the previous command, I did not know this!)

thanks babe

YOU SHOULD NEVER USE "Q"!!

Why we need to put sudo for tux user when it is configured just like root .

Super Cool! Thanks!

Thanks

just gratitude to the makers n explainer

you are a linux god man!!!!

Can you have multiple lines for a user which will give sudo access to some commands with password verification and other commands bypassing the need for password verification?

What the best/correct way to login as root or another user?

Interesting thing with sudoedit is it don't know some settings (at least version on debian 10) and show warning when file are 100% correct, so it can lead to skip and save file with actual mistake

Thank you Teacher for all yr teaching...
Everytime I got new thing to learn from u ..
U are awesome ⭐

Great video. My OCD can't stop looking at that left hand picture on your wall though .. it's not aligned!!!

What a bad decision made by the sudo developers to use 'q' to save a wrong sudoers file. 'q' is actually what you would type to exit without saving. 'W' (uppercase) seems like a better option in my opinion.

Hi Jay your video is very informative , thanks for all info, can you make video o rbash and rbash is how different from this sudoers configured command in sudoers file , thank you

👍

If you type h or help when visudo gives you an error, then it will give you the options available.

Supremely good tutorial 👌

The leftmost picture behind your head is too high.

👍

One thing to be aware of. If you put something in /etc/sudoers or /etc/sudoers.d and it contains an error, sudo will refuse to run, and you need root permissions to edit /etc/sudoers and /etc/sudoers.d. This can be quite a conundrum if you don't, as is the default, have a password on the root account. (I learned, from this, that you should use sudo -s to get a root shell to manipulate /etc/sudoers, and then su back to a user account and sudo echo hello just to check sudo is working fine before closing the root shell.)

really enjoying these!

Nice! I just learned how to remove the password requirement in WSL. Thanks for your videos.

Just love the linux essentials series! Can't wait the next video

Thanks for showing us the finer settings on sudo. Since we can restrict a user to elevate apt, is there anyway to restrict the user to only use "apt update" and "apt upgrade"? In other words, restrict not only the program but specific sytanx. This would allow a user to only update and upgrade but not install new packages.

It ALL good

I have been playing around with Linode last couple of months and I think it would be useful to have a post-install script I would set up a few things on a new server install. By creating a new user on the server and making them part of the SUDO group, Removing root login, Doing upgrades and updates and activating automatic updates, installing some programs that are not installed by default, removing the capability of logging with password and of course before that loading your RSA keys. And I like my prompt certain way so I would like to add that to the script. Maybe sometime you could do a video on such a script?

Thank you for the video, I also just started reading "SUDO Mastery " by Michael W Lucas
