sudo: Beginner to Expert in One Hour with Michael Potter
Presenter: Michael Potter
Description:
This presentation will begin with a quick demo for those of you who are unfamiliar with sudo. The complete syntax of the configuration file will be explained starting with the simplest rules to the most complex. Finishing with a discussion recipes to solve real world problems.
I started developing this presentation after getting frustrated trying to understand the sudo configuration file syntax. I added the real world problem while helping people on the sudo mailing list.
sudo is a security tool that comes pre-installed on many *NIX systems, including mac os x, and most distributions of Linux. sudo allows for fine grained control of privileges as an alternative to setuid programs & scripts, turning on read & write privileges on sensitive files, sharing passwords, and (gasp) giving out the root password.
This presentation will be recorded and put on Potter's youtube channel.

UniForum Chicago Meetings
Our live meetings have been held previously at the Bolingbrook Fountaindale Library but we have been holding our meetings virtually since the pandemic began since March 2020. However, there is now the possibility of holding live meetings going forward but will be decided when and where live meetings will be held as they are defined going forward. Virtual meetings have enabled us to host events with presenters and participants from around the country if not the world.
Going forward UniForum Chicago events will be posted here on Lu.ma instead of Meetup.com. Subscribe to our email list in order to receive an email notifications about upcoming meetings.
Events are also hosted at our website here:
