Dear list, after more than two decades of daily FreeBSD usage, I'm still astonished that almost everybody else seems to use 'sudo'. I don't use it because I don't agree with the idea to authorize with the user password which I already used for current credentials. But, I'd like to profit from cached credentials, like I experienced on MacOS. I agree with 'su root -c', which prompts for the SuperUser password to get SuperUser priviledges and I once stumbled across a sudo-alternative which does the same, but I don't remember it's name and it seems there are a lot of more or less similar sudo-replacements. Unfortunately I haven't ever tried any of these and am always short in time. Is there any similar credential caching alternative like MacOS has? I'd highly appreciate suggestions, especially from people sharing my sudo-objections. Thanks, -harry
