register and choose sudo to download.

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1123

Shalom,

You are definitely better off using the sudo provided in the link above.

Note that contrary to Linux all the configuration files for this sudo are located in the /opt file system.

abunnudur,

ftp the file from your pc to the server.

The from the server, execute swinstall.

After Installation, you can configure user permissions in /etc/sudoers file .

see #man sudoers for more details.

You will need root access to run swinstall command and configure sudo.

Your selection/choice is absolutely correct.
using sudo is execellent option to delegate system admin tasks without giving root passwords to a group of users.

install using swinstall and configure using
vi /etc/sudoers

Refer to man sudoers for more info.

use ftp to transfer the depot to your server (binary mode!), let's say to /tmp.

Now use

# swinstall -s /tmp/ixSudo_A.11.00-1.6.9p16.001_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot

to install it.

Using ftp is easy, just opne a command window on your windows PC and type

> ftp

use valid credentials to logon.

You may also use a ftp client like this:

http://filezilla-project.org/

good..until now i openned command prompt on WIN
i typed:
ftp (the IP address)
then this sentense appeared:
Connection closed by remote host
so what's the problem?

Maybe ftp is disabled for security reasons.

Have a look into

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

for more messages.

With a ftp client like filezilla you can also use SFTP.

Forgot to add this:

If you have FTP services running on your PC, you try the other way around - use ftp from your server to get the file from your PC.

Default location on the PC is

c:\inetpub\ftproot

Re: SUDO very urgent

abunnudur — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:29:09 GMT

on that directory it said:
Execute permission denied
now i cant use ftp i guess...
i think there is a software like putty can help me to transfer this file from WIN to HP server...
what's ur opinion?

Re: SUDO very urgent

Torsten. — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:32:01 GMT

As said before - there are sooo many clients available for file transfer.

The putty download page also lists clients for

scp
and
sftp.

try a client of your choice.

Hi,

If ftp not working try using sftp. Or do you have any UNIX (Linux) guys around. If so, just ask them for little support. Either the firewall is blocking your ftp port or ftp should have disabled from the server side.

Once you copy (ftp/sftp) the file to the HP-UX box, then you have to install the depot (sudo software package) using swinstall command as said in the above posts.

Regards.
