sudo

Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done.

This version is built with minimal shared library dependencies, use the sudo-ldap package instead if you need LDAP support for sudoers.

sudo-ldap

Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done.

sudo-ldap will be supported up to Debian 13 “trixie” and will be removed in Debian 14. Please do not use sudo-ldap for new installations and consider migrating your existing installations to libsss-sudo and sssd.

This version is built with LDAP support, which allows an equivalent of the sudoers database to be distributed via LDAP. Authentication is still performed via pam.
