Sudo Mastery: User Access Control for Real People (IT Mastery Book 3)

Unix-like operating systems have a primitive access control system. The root account can do anything. Other users are peasants with only minimal system access. This worked fine in UNIXâ€™s youth, but today, system administration responsibilities are spread among many people and applications. Each person needs a tiny slice of rootâ€™s power.

Sudo lets you divide rootâ€™s monolithic power between the people who need it, with accountability and auditability.

Sudo Mastery will teach you to:

* design a sudo policy rather than slap rules together
* simplify policies with lists and aliases
* use non-Unix information sources in policies
* configure alternate sudo policies
* manage shell environments
* verify system integrity and perform intrusion detection
* have a common sudo policy across your server farm
* manage sudo policies via LDAP
* log and debug sudo
* log and replay full sudo sessions
* use authentication systems other than passwords

While many people use sudo, most use only a small part of itâ€™s features. Chances are, youâ€™re doing it wrong. Master sudo with Sudo Mastery.
