What is SUDO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “SUDO” command is used so that with your ordinary user, that is, with normal user privileges and permissions (non-administrator), you can execute certain commands restricted to other users, usually restricted to the “superuser” or system administrator , usually the “root” account, but without accessing the system with that account. This command in modern versions works to replace the permissions of any user, not just “root”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make use of sudo, the superuser must first grant you that permission, adding your user account or username in the list of “sudoers”, generally configured in the file (or file) \/ etc \/ sudoers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, sudo is a program that based on a control list (\/ etc \/ sudoers) allows (or not) the execution of the user who invoked it on a certain program owned by another user, generally the system administrator ‘root’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sudo is run by a normal user, who is supposed to have permissions to execute a certain command. So sudo requires users to authenticate themselves via their password to allow them to execute the command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo \/ sbin \/ ifconfig<\/strong><\/em>
Password: <\/strong>
eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 4C: 00: 10: 60: 5F: 21 <\/strong>
inet addr: 200.13.110.62 Bcast: 200.13.110.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 <\/strong>
inet6 addr: fe80 :: 4e00: 10ff: fe60: 5f21 \/ 64 Scope: Link<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By default, after doing the above, you will have 5 minutes to use the same command or others to which you are entitled, without having to enter the password again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
