sudo is not working

[Syedfurquan]

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to install sudo on HP-UX 11.23.

I have installed sudo depot file and edited the sudoers file also to give user as root priviliges. But I am getting error like this:

# Oct 20 10:42:20 dbtest01 sudo:     test : /opt/iexpress/sudo/etc/sudoers is ow

ned by uid 0, should be 2 ; TTY=pts/tb ; PWD=/home/test ; COMMAND=su

Oct 20 10:42:20 dbtest01 sudo:     test : no valid sudoers sources found, quitti

ng ; TTY=pts/tb ; PWD=/home/test ; COMMAND=su

# pwd /opt/iexpress/sudo/etc

Pease find the sudoers file also below for reference:

## sudoers file.

Defaults logfile=/var/adm/sudo/sudo.log

Defaults timestampdir=/var/adm/sudo

##

## This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.

## Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors

## that prevent sudo from running.

## See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.

First, always make sure to edit the 'sudoers' file with 'visudo'.  This is a 'vi' session with additional protective checks for SUDO.

Did you see this message? :

/opt/iexpress/sudo/etc/sudoers is owned by uid 0, should be 2

Change the ownership as shown.

Regards!

Dear James,

Thanks for the reply. I tried by changing the UID earlier also but still it is not working.
