# RootDO [](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rdo/)
|
|
|
|
This project aims to be a very slim alternative to both sudo and doas.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
If you are on Arch Linux, you can download the package via the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rdo/).
|
|
|
|
You can clone and build rdo with the following set of commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://codeberg.org/sw1tchbl4d3/rdo
|
|
cd rdo
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that, you'll have to configure rdo to allow you to use it.
|
|
To do this, edit `/etc/rdo.conf`, and set the group variable to the admin group you are in.
|
|
|
|
Then you're good to go!
|
|
|
|
To uninstall:
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo make uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
rdo [command]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The configuration file has the following variables:
|
|
```
|
|
group=wheel
|
|
wrong_pw_sleep=1000
|
|
session_ttl=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `group`: The group of users that is allowed to execute rdo.
|
|
- `wrong_pw_sleep`: The amount of milliseconds to sleep at a wrong password attempt. Must be a positive integer. Set to 0 to disable.
|
|
- `session_ttl`: The amount of minutes a session lasts. Must be a positive integer. Set to 0 to disable.
|
|
|
|
### Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
The benchmark: Execute `whoami` (GNU coreutils 8.32) 1000 times.
|
|
|
|
Yes, this is a silly benchmark. Yes, the performance gain in real world application is close to nothing.
|
|
|
|
But it's fun!
|

|Program|Time|

--- | ---
|
|
sudo 1.9.9 | 22.12s
|
|
opendoas 6.8.2 | 13.5s
|
|
rdo 1.4 | 3.5s
|
|
Baseline | 2.1s
|
|
|
|
Baseline here is how long it took without any wrapper to make it root.
|
|
|
|
These benchmarks were done on a single core of an `AMD FX-8350` processor, on Artix Linux version `5.16.12-zen1-1-zen`.
|
|
|
|
`sudo` and `opendoas` were pulled from the pacman repos, rdo via AUR.
|
|
|
|
All configs were kept as default, except allow the `wheel` group on both + enable `persist` on doas.
|
|
|
|
Script used:
|
|
```sh
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
$1 whoami
|
|
|
|
current=$(date +%s.%N)
|
|
for i in {1..1000}; do
|
|
$1 whoami 2>&1 >/dev/null
|
|
done
|
|
done=$(date +%s.%N)
|
|
|
|
echo $done - $current | bc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script requires `bc` to be installed, for floating point arithmetics.
