Hi...
A few interrelated questions:
Is there a port of sudo to FreeBSD that doesn't use crypt?
I tried building it on my FreeBSD (2.1) box last night and it
complained about not being able to find crypt which, of course,
is no surprise. Is there a version around anywhere that uses
FreeBSD's alternative to crypt?
What must I do to make FreeBSD compatible with sudo?
I realize that I must find the DES stuff used in Unix. But
what all is involved? Presumeably, I must get all of that
stuff and install it (where can I find it and how much is
there?). I should think that, if I want sudo to be able to
use the regular user passwords then I must also convert
them from the normal form (MD5?) to DES form. Is this
process documented anywhere? How difficult (and time
consuming) is it?
Thanks for any help. I'd sure like to be able to use sudo to do simple
root things like mount and such without actually su-ing to root every
time. I prefer to spend as little time as root as possible.
Best,
