Sudo 1.6.3 installation

[Marie Eldridge_1]

I am running HP-UX 10.20 and need to install sudo. I have downloaded the latest file sudo-1.6.3p5.tar.gz and can't figure how to install it. I read the install notes and it refers to the install.configure file but I don't know how to load the software to get to that point. Can someone give me a hand? I know it's something simple that I'm overlooking. Thanks.

Marie,

I have recently installed that version of sudo. Here's what I did.

$ gunzip sudo-1.6.3p5.tar.gz
$ tar xf sudo-1.6.3p5.tar
$ cd sudo-1.6.3p5
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
# make install

I can't recall any of the above steps requiring anything special on HP-UX 10.20

Good luck.

Hi Marie,

Have a look at the INSTALL file, once you have 'gunzipped/untarred' the distribution file. See Matt's points 1-3 telling you how to do this.

Once the package is installed you'll need to do the following (it's described in the INSTALL file):

Edit the sudoers file with `visudo' as necessary for your site. You will probably want to refer the sample.sudoers file and sudoers man page included with the sudo package.

If you want to use syslogd(8) to do the logging, you'll need to update your /etc/syslog.conf file. See the sample.syslog.conf file included in the distribution for an example.

There is nothing special that I can remember, I recently compiled the package for HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 and it compiled 'straight of the box'

Best regards,

Dan

Thanks for your help. Both your suggestions worked great!

I now have another problem. I apparently have an incompatability problem with C/ANSI with the -g option. I had several lines ignored when I ran the "make" command. I also got a warning that at least one PA 2.0 object file was detected. The linked output may not run on a PA 1.x system. This is probably why I can't run visudo to edit the sudoers file. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Do I need to run make distclean to undo the ./configure? Thanks again for your help.
