looking for some documentation on sudo

[awb7422]

First let me say, that my back ground is in linux, and I'm very new to hp_ux (sorry in advance for the newbie questions); I'm looking for some background information on sudo; I understand completly how sudo works in the linux world; editing /etc/sudoers via visudo and so forth; can you tell me if sudo exists in the hp_ux world, if so, do I still use visudo to edit sudoers file, and possibly point me to some documentation on the subject. Thanks very much. Aaron

I found some good information here, but any documentation or things that you guys can warn me to look out for would be helpful. Thanks again.

sudo works the same way on all flavors of Unix. The man page for sudoers is the most comprehensive (albeit somewhat cryptic) description of sudo features. Otherwise, the sudo home page is useful, specifically: http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/intro.html

Pre-compiled binaries for sudo:

Hope it is same in linux and hp-ux. Installation is only differing between *NIX platforms. If you are good in linux sudo. Then you are same level in hp-ux itselg.

Start with man pages. It will show what do you want.
