Sudo Main Page

Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their arguments.

Sudo is under active development. There are two branches, a stable branch that primarily receives bug fixes and a development branch that includes a rewritten parser and incorporates new features.

The current stable version is sudo 1.6.9p17, released on June 26, 2008.

The current development version is sudo 1.7.0rc2, released on June 10, 2008.

Sudo is free software and is distributed under an ISC-style license.

Sudo development is performed in the author's spare time and is not sponsored by a commercial organization. You can help ensure future sudo development by making a donation.
