Real SysAdmins don’t sudo – Book excerpt
I was just reading a very interesting article that contained some good information about a Linux feature that I want to learn about.
The reason I found this article so cringe-worthy is that it prefaced every command with the sudo command. The issue I have with this is that the article is allegedly for SysAdmins and real SysAdmins don’t use sudo in front of every command they issue. This is a gross misuse of the sudo command and I have written about this type of misuse in my book, “The Linux Philosophy for SysAdmins.”
