Incase anyone is interested, here is a very nice alternative to doas and sudo which is much lighter and faster with only about 260 LoC.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I didn’t realize sudo needed to be that complicated.
Yeah, afaik sudo even has over 400k LoC.
It’s big but I think that number’s inflated. I just downloaded the source bundle from sudo.ws and I find only 200k even if I count the entire repository, including docs (43k) and lib (38k), and lib looks like vendored dependencies to me. The actual
src/is only 15k.Oh thanks, I honestly thought it was larger than that. But I guess your numbers do seem more realistic.
Looks really cool, but sadly it segfaults for me as soon as I enter a password.
Huh, weird. Could you maybe try submitting an Issue on Codeberg?
