How do I configure doas?

To configure doas, follow these steps:

  1. Install doas: If it's not already installed, you can typically install it using your package manager. For example, on OpenBSD, it's included by default. On other systems, you may need to install it manually.

  2. Create the Configuration File: The configuration file for doas is usually located at /etc/doas.conf. You may need superuser privileges to create or edit this file.

  3. Edit the Configuration File: Open the file in a text editor. Here’s a basic example of what you might include:

    permit :wheel
    permit user_name as root
    
    • permit :wheel: Allows all users in the wheel group to use doas.
    • permit user_name as root: Allows a specific user (user_name) to execute commands as the root user.
  4. Save and Exit: After editing, save the file and exit the text editor.

  5. Test the Configuration: You can test your configuration by running a command with doas:

    doas command
    

Make sure to replace command with the actual command you want to run. If you encounter any issues, check the syntax in your doas.conf file.
