Sudo: You're Doing it Wrong

You all use sudo--it ships with almost every Unix-like operating system. You might even know that sudo has features you don't use. This talk will take you through some of sudo's lesser-known features, including: managing unlimited numbers of machines and operating systems (either with a single policy file or LDAP), using sudo for intrusion detection, logging, debugging, and replaying sudo sessions, and more. Based on the book "Sudo Mastery." Michael W Lucas has been a sysadmin for twenty years now, and his Unix experience is old enough to have gone out and earned its own master's degree by now. (Sadly, it didn't, preferring to hang out in the computer lab and play NetHack instead of going to class until its scholarship ran out.) Lucas has written a bunch of technology books, including "Absolute OpenBSD" and "SSH Mastery."
