The point of 'doas' or 'su' or 'sudo' is to get root temporarily for the duration of the command. The question here is why is it failing, and the answer is most likely "because you're doing it wrong". That's why I'm asking what happens when you run those various alternatives. My guess is that you have to enable your user via the doas.conf(5) config file. I can run doas without issue and have never edited doas.conf. However I am a member the 'wheel' group, which the default doas.conf does enable: $ cat /etc/doas.conf # Allow wheel by default permit :wheel So I suggest you try as a member of the wheel group and see what happens. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
