doctorn, 9 months ago (edited 8 months ago) But, in that example: If I’m the admin it doesn’t matter I use it. If I’m not it’s not my problem that I could get more privileges than allowed. I’d probably even use the possibility then. 😅 So it poses a risk if you allow none-admin users to do that on your system, but I still don’t see why I must choose to not use nano as root myself. 😅 Anyway, good practice to me is ease-of-use instead of with 7 protections against things that rarely happen. Like, I’m pretty sure you are better protected from burglars if you also lock all doors inside your house, but I’m definitely not doing that either. 😅 Edit: Also, if you have users on your system, just chroot/vroot/lxc them, so they be free to ‘sudo nano’ too… 😅
