Can't find visudo after installation

[Paul Maglinger]

Running HPUX 11.23. I have just finished downloading and installing sudo 1.6.8p12. The log says it was successful and swinstall shows sudo listed as installed, but when I try to run visudo (which should be part of the package) it comes back as not found. sudo returns the same message as well. Can someone provide some advice on what I could be missing here?

Hi Paul,

add /usr/local/bin and /usr/localk/sbin to your PATH.

You probably need to add the install path of sudo to your PATH variable.

Hi Paul:

A common mistake following a product installation is to forget to logout and back in. Normally '/etc/PATH' is updated but until you login it is not read, parsed, and added to your environment when the login sequence reads '/etc/profile'.

I figured it was a PATH issue, but didn't know where the files were installed to. Adding /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to the PATH in the .profile fixed it. Thanks everyone.
