sudo su - is another bad idea
Yeah!!! and fix the sudoers file when you can!
sudo su - is another bad idea
Yes. Also it's a good habit to explicitely run /bin/su -, rather than just su -. Reduces chance of someone throwing another su into the search path and grabbing your password.
sudo su - is another bad idea
No, that's all back to front, surely?
I'd assume that an 'admin' user is allowed to do root operations, and sudo just helps prevent them doing a lot of them by accident. If you don't want a user to be root then don't make them an admin. You can tweak the sudoers file to give them any additional permissions beyond normal. Admittedly Apple's use of 'sudo' here is perhaps a bit non-standard but then the idea of 'admin' users is just about as non-standard. |
