Description: sudo like controlled privilege escalation
The op tool provides a flexible means for system administrators
to grant access to certain root operations without having to
give them full superuser privileges. Different sets of users may
access different operations, and the security-related aspects of
each operation can be carefully controlled.
.
The main attraction of op over sudo is the use of mnemonics
rather than true commands. This allows an administrator to
present users with more intuitive commands.
.
Other available features are:
.
- fine-grained per-command control
- a really short name
- host-based access control
- command expiration
- variable expansion
- multi-line arguments
