Sudo Alternatives

Of course, Sudo isn’t the only game in town. I won’t comment on these other options as I haven’t spent much time working with them (and I’d probably be a bit biased). If you would like to add to this list, please send mail to sudo@sudo.ws.

Open Source Sudo Alternatives

• sudo-rs is a safety oriented and memory safe implementation of sudo and su written in Rust.
• The OpenBSD doas command is similar to sudo and has been ported to other systems.
• RootAsRole is a memory-safe and security-oriented alternative to the sudo and su commands that leverages Linux capabilities and the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) model.

• vsys
• GNU userv
• super

• priv
• calife

• ssu
• su1
• op (originally shipped with ConvexOS, this is a free version based on Tom Christiansen’s paper)

System-specific Sudo Alternatives

• The Solaris pfexec command can be used to run commands with extra privileges, as determined by the security profile.
• AIX has support for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) that can be used to assign fine-grained privileges to a user.
• HP-UX has a restricted version of the sam system administration tool that allows non-root users to perform specific tasks.

Commercial Alternatives

• Privilege Manager for Unix
• Safeguard for Sudo which supports a centrally administered sudoers file, I/O logging, and a management console.

• Privilege Management for Unix and Linux (formerly Power Broker)
• CaclMgr

• Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS)
• CyberArk On-Demand Privileges Manager
• Delinea DirectAuthorize includes a dzdo command that functions similarly to sudo. They also include a sudo migration tool.
