Hi,

You can implement sudo to achive this. After implementing this a normal user can do some defined preveledged jobs and everything gets logged in syslog.

hi,

'sudo' allows a normal user to execute commands with 'super user permission'
You need to download and install sudo package from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.8p9/. Install it using swinstall. After that you need to customise /etc/sudoers file, inorder to use specified commands by a user or a group of users. Then the user need to use $sudo to execute it with superuser permission.

You can view /var/adm/sudolog/sudo.log
to find the history of the commands executed through sudoers.

Sunil

Hi,
The latest version is available here as well.

http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/

After installing this package using swinstall you can edit sudoers file using "visudo" command.

The file is self explained and examples are there to add commands. You can add commands there as per the syntax mentioned.

Once done you can list the commands permitted for a particular user by giving

$sudo -l

From the command prompt of that user. Importantly only commands needs to be entered and the arguments will be supported by default.

HTH,
Devender
