&gt; Didn&#x27;t openbsd attempt to rewrite sudo recently? There was a point about simplifying its configuration syntax.<p>As the other two commenters said, you must be thinking of doas.  Doas isn&#x27;t a rewrite of sudo, it&#x27;s an entirely new program with a different goal: capture the most common use cases of sudo and do away with most of the complexity to support the more involved scenario.  This is a pretty common pattern in OpenBSD actually: provide the simple tool by default, let power users install the more complex tools if they need it for their work.
