On a server I have a public key auth only for root account. Is there any point of logging in with a different account?

    And how would you not be able to hijack the password when you have control over the user session?

        With aliases in the bashrc you can hijack any command and execute instead of the command any arbitrary commands. So the command can be extracted, as already stated above, this is not a weakness of sudo but a general one.

            No you can alias that command and hijack the password promt via bashrc and then you have the root password as soon as the user enters it.

                There are many ways to harden against it, but “just disable root auth” is not really it, since it in itself does not add much.

                  So, you learned about .bashrc today, and you’re now an expert?
                  Perhaps stand down and let the experts have their say.

              No, that’s not how it works.
              You really should stop talking shit about things you know nothing about.
              Truly sad.
