Description Le Baron d'Merde 2016-10-13 03:47:30 UTC

This is the alternative for app-admin/sudo from OpenBSD claimed to be more secure.

I just installed it on my FreeBSD server and did not had any time to really try out, what I will do when I have time.

On Arch Linux (AUR) there is a PKGBUILD for it, what make me think app-admin/doas can be compiled on Linux, and maybe work without major problems.

Please, consider adding to portage tree.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always
