Originally written in C, it's now reimplemented in Rust.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, raou looks in /etc/raou.d/ for config files. If you run
|
||||
"raou backup", it will look for /etc/raou.d/backup.
|
||||
### When to use raou (over sudo)
|
||||
Generally, it's not a replacement for sudo. The primary use case of raou is a situation in which you would want to allow a user to run a privileged operation as root without entering passwords. You may not want to use sudo for that, particularly if you don't have it installed already. Some further arguments for raou:
|
||||
|
||||
- Simpler config
|
||||
- Less complexity, less attack surface
|
||||
- Writte in a memory-safe language
|
||||
|
||||
### Config
|
||||
By default, raou looks in ```/etc/raou.d/``` for config files. If you run
|
||||
"raou backup", it will look for ```/etc/raou.d/backup```.
|
||||
Example config file:
|
||||
```
