how to upgrade sudo

I want to upgrade sudo in HP unix

Hi,

If you used swinstall to install the old version, use swremove to remove it and swinstall the latest version on your system. Just make sure you keep a copy of the sudoers file in a save place.

Why do you think PAM is involved?
What do you want it to do in addition to what sudo does?

the steps looks ok, a ignite is normaly not needed, but always nice to have...

After the repleasement alsow do a visudo to check if the configuration is still working (some old sudo versions have some other settings than the laatste one, a visudo will detectthe errors (if there are...) and will alsow gives some goot cluess how to fix them...
