You can get sudo from this site already and depot format.

Thanks! Is it an HP site ? I heard HP has some express site to use. Please let me know that that link .

Also how easy is to remove SUDO if it doesn't work for some reason?

Yes, it's the HP Porting and Archive site you will be able to find a lot of good software there. and using the software in depot format makes it easy to install and remove using the swinstall/swremove commands.

I think you are thinking of HP's Internet Express bundle of software. SUDO is part of Internet Express.

The Internet Express site for HP-UX 11i V2 / 11.23 is:

Thank you guys! I really appreciate all your help on this.
Looks like http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.8p12/ has
sudo-1.6.8p12. Is it the right version to use? How to install a depot package using
swinstall/swremove . Please let me know the steps.

Other site specifified by Patric has ixSudo_A.10.00-1.6.9p8.001_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot.
Which one is stable version? Looks like 1.6.9p8 is latest.
Also do I have to install HP-UX Internet Express A.10.00 in order to get SUDO?

Re: SUDO in

Patrick Wallek — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 17:19:24 GMT

You do NOT have to install the entire Internet Express package to get sudo. You can download and install individual pieces.

Have a look at the swinstall man page to learn how to install sowftware.

Thanks Patrick! Which SUDO version do you recomend? If I install ixSudo_A.10.00-1.6.9p8.001_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot by using swinstall , will it install just sudo or will it include other part of the package as well?

I did
swinstall -s /tmp/sudo-1.6.8p12-ia64-11.23.depot to install sudo depot. The below log (swagent.log) said it suceeded .But I am not able to locate any sudo file in the system. Am I missing some thing?

>I am not able to locate any sudo file in the system.

Where did you look?
To find the files you installed you can do:
swlist -l file sudo

(sudo is the SD product on the log.)

Re: SUDO in

F Verschuren — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 07:33:37 GMT

swlist -l file sudoers, wil give you the sudo file.
to eddit
use "visudo"
you can lokate this via:
swlist -l file visudo.

Re: SUDO in

Dennis Handly — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 07:49:26 GMT

>F Verschuren: swlist -l file sudoers
swlist -l file visudo

Neither of these will work if you didn't install a sudoers or visudo SD product.
Did you mean to use ... | grep sudoers ??
If so, this is lots slower than if you can list the SD product or fileset.

If the sudo product puts itself in some $PATH that isn't in /etc/PATH, you may have to re-login.

Thanks for all your help on this.

I don't see sudoers files or sudo executables..

ricr3tst@/>swlist -l file visudo
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "ricr3tst"...
ERROR: Software "visudo" was not found on host "ricr3tst:/".

Patrick Wallek — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 14:10:08 GMT

Try what Dennis said:

swlist -l file sudo

(When using swlist you MUST use a product name as an argument NOT a file name. The command above says to list all files associated with the product sudo.)

Thanks again! Looks like they ended up at /usr/local.
Can I put the executable in /usr/bin?
Also how to configure sudoers file in /etc folder and sudolog in some desired location? Please help.

>Can I put the executable in /usr/bin?

It depends if they have a hard coded location of files or shlibs.
Try using "ldd sudo" and see if any libs point to /usr/local/.

>Also how to configure sudoers file in /etc folder and sudolog in some desired location?

You might want to look at some of the documents in /usr/local/doc/sudo/.

And invoke the various man pages you just installed:
sudo(1m) visudo(1m) sudoers(4) sudoedit(1m)

HPquestion — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 14:59:20 GMT

Thanks Dennis! Another dumb question.
How to add /usr/local/bin information in PATH variable. I checked .profile and it has the following lines. Is it advisable to append/edit PATH here? Where $PATH variable is defined actually ?

----
.profile lines

# Do not put "." in PATH; it is a potential security breach.
# Do not put "/usr/local/bin" in PATH; it is a potential security breach.
# Example assumes /home/root exists.
set +u
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH:/sbin:/home/root
