Doas
doas is a utility to execute commands as a different user, typically the super user. It is often installed as a replacement for sudo, due to its ease of configuration and greater simplicity.
Configuration
The following configuration will give the user foo
the ability to execute commands as the super user via doas
, while disabling the sudo
command.
security.doas.enable = true;
security.sudo.enable = false;
security.doas.extraRules = [{
users = ["foo"];
keepEnv = true; # Optional, retains environment variables while running commands
persist = true; # Optional, only require password verification a single time
}];
