administration delegation

[Sudhakar J_1]

Hi,
I need to give some users only permission to install softwares with root euivalent acces (install may access / /usr /opt)

What is the way to do it...
Is there anything equivelant to RBAC in Solaris or Delgation in W2k

Regards

Hi,

You could build a 'restricted sam' to do the job. To create this you must be 'root' Have a look at the man page for 'sam' on how. The '-r' option.

The other alternative is to install 'sudo' and configure the user(s) into a grouping of what programs are allowed to run as root.

Here is the link to where you can get the software.
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.6/

You can install the software using 'swinstall'. Most software that comes ported for HP-UX should be in a depot file.
