Cool, but I'll stick with opendoas
-
If that works for you and you are happy with it, fine. But sudo-rs seems to have a bit of a different usecase since it is intended as a drop in replacement for sudo, hence it must be able to handle the sudoers file aso. It still removes some of the never-used obscure functionality that sudo had, so it is probably a lot smaller code base than original sudo.

What advantages does that have over this?
-
- Opendoas has a significantly smaller codebase. It only has 4397 lines of code compared to Sudo-rs's staggering 35990 lines.
- It has a very simple config file which can do everything I want in less than 6 words.
- It is a soft fork of BSD's doas package and receives frequent audits(something I find reassuring since it is a method to gain root access on my system.
- I don't want or need 99% of the features sudo provides so I appreciate the simplicity and lightness of opendoas
