I'm partial to sudo bash myself ๐Ÿ‘Œ

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

chmod 777 /directory go brrrrrrrrrrrr

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

You mean sudo chmod -R 777 /that/path/I'm/trying/to/share ?

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

Ya probably. Iโ€™m dumb enough to type that in and just see what happens ๐Ÿ˜Ž

[-] ytg@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago

Why does sudo su exist? sudo -i does exactly what you want.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

It's much easier to type sudo su ๐Ÿ˜…

Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks

Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn't collapse before we replaced it.

A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin

That's at least once a week

Reminds me of all of those vendors that require Windows Admin for no reason.

I'm in jail because I was not in the sudoer file

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

This incident was, in fact, reported.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Well, you were warned ๐Ÿคท.

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

Real pros shuffle across the carpet to build a static charge and do their system administration by electrical fault injection.

Sometimes your package manager asks you for root password every minute while doing few hours long update and cancelling process if you don't enter anything for few minutes, "yay" aur manager looking at you, and you got to do other things than sit and look in the monitor all day long, things like cleaning house or touching grass for example

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

sudo visudo

At the end:

Defaults:USER timestamp_timeout=30

USER is obviously changed to your username.

Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.

sudo su -c "man man"

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 54 points 2 days ago

Still not as bad as chmod -R 777.

[-] Dhs92@programming.dev 29 points 2 days ago

Once had a friend run sudo chmod -R 777 / on a (public) Minecraft server we were running back in highschool. It made me die a bit on the inside.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 24 points 2 days ago

Doesn't it break a lot of things? Half the stuff refuses to work when some specific files have too permissive chmod.

[-] Dhs92@programming.dev 17 points 2 days ago

Really only SSH and sudo broke. sudo would still work but you'd have to re-enter your password every time. It was a painful experience and I'm glad I know better now.

As a one time noob I may have done this once or more.

To get one thing working I borked everything.

Understanding permissions is pretty basic. But understanding permission requirements for system and user apps and their config and dirs can be a bit overwhelming at first.

Thinking a little change to make your life simpler will break something else doesn't always register immediately.

Shit, even recently, wondering why my SSH keys were being refused and realising that somehow i set my private keys world readable.

Thank god SSH checks file and dir permission.

just worked a job where I did not have privlages to sudo commands. except su. had to sudo su so I could run a script.

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction

Come on! I've stopped logging on as root, can't we just leave it at that?
