  • So it opens the file in your editor, since you have read access to it. Then saves your changes to a temp file. Then when you close the editor it does a sudo mv tmpfile readfile?

    I checked this by checking the file ownership when running touch myself. The file is owned by root. sudo nano myself also creates a file owned by root. sudoedit myself removed at me not to run it in a writable directory.

    sudoedit: myself: editing files in a writable directory is not permitted

    So I ran it in a non-writable directory and the resulting file is still owned by root.

    So is the advantage of sudoedit preventing a possible escalation of privileges situation?

  • I did this with my garage door the other day. The thing squealed like crazy since we bought the house and I didn't really know how to fix it. Got some White Lithium Grease and just sprayed it into all of the hinges, greased the top rail and tightened the chain. I just love that I don't have to cringe every time I'm about to press the button to open the door.

  • I have two huskies. If I don't walk them they get destructive. I got them to help keep myself active and they're doing their job.

    Also took up Ultimate (frisbee). Such a great game, but so much running!
