RootAsRole 4.0 enhances sudo alternative with new execution model and finer policies for privileged Linux commands

heise.de (German)

RootAsRole 4.0, a sudo alternative, now offers enhanced control over privileged Linux commands with a new execution model and finer-grained policies. The update introduces a sudo-like process monitoring model for increased security, directory-based policy management for better organization, and restrictions on command execution from specific working directories. This release, built in Rust and supporting Linux kernel 4.3+, aims to implement the principle of least privilege through role-based access control and Linux capabilities.
