+As an alternative to package:security/sudo[] package:security/doas[] can be used to provide the ability for users to get enhanced privileges.
+
+The doas utility is available via the ports collection in package:security/doas[] or via the man:pkg[8] utility.
+
+After the installation [.filename]#/usr/local/etc/doas.conf# must be configured to grant access for users for specific commands, or roles.

+The simpliest entry could be the following, which grants local_user root permissions without asking for its password when executing the doas command.
+

+
+[source,bash]
+....
+$ doas vi /etc/rc.conf
