Rare Canonical W. The only thing I miss from the original sudo is
sudoedit, but I'm pretty sure that's on the Rust implementation's TODO list.They've got a few months to get it done, and it shouldn't be that hard, no? Just exec EDITOR as a child process, no?
It also does input validation to ensure one doesn’t break the sudo file.
Sure. I guess it would depend on how complex that is, but surely the sudo command already does validations, so it would just need to have the editor write to a temporary file (which is a copy of the official one) and write once it's validated, right?
It sounds doable in a few months.
