sudosh is a filter and can be used as a login shell. sudosh takes advantage
|
||
|
|
of pty devices in order to sit between the user's keyboard and a program, in
|
||
|
|
this case a shell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudosh was designed specifically to be used in conjunction with sudo or by
|
||
|
|
itself as a login shell.. sudosh allows the execution of a root shell with
|
||
|
|
logging. Every command the user types within the root shell is logged as
|
||
|
|
well as the output.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How is this different than "sudo -s" or "sudo /bin/sh" ?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using "sudo -s" or other methods doesn't log commands typed to syslog.
|
||
|
|
Generally the commands are logged to a file such as .sh_history and if you
|
||
|
|
use a shell such as csh that doesn't support command-line logging you're
|
||
|
|
out of luck.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudosh fills this gap. No matter what shell you use, all of the command
|
||
|
|
lines are logged to syslog (including vi keystrokes.)
