sudo issue

[OFC_EDM]

I've installed everything I need to install for sudo(sudo-1.6.8p12) on HP-UX 11i v1 from the HP Porting Archive.

But I get the following error when I run /usr/local/bin/sudoedit:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libdb-3.1.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)

Any ideas why the error occurs?

(p.s. I did try adding /usr/local/lib to the SHLIB_PATH)


This is a list of all the dependencies I think are required. I've used tar to look in all the depots but can't find libdb-3.1.sl and also did a "find" on the HP-UX server for the library but can't find it. So I don't know from which product it's from.

autoconf-2.59
bison-2.1
db-4.4.20
flex-2.5.4a
gawk-3.1.5
gcc-4.1.0
gettext-0.14.5
heimdal-0.7.2
libgcc-4.1.0
libiconv-1.10
m4-1.4.4
make-3.80
openssl-0.9.8a
tcltk-8.4.12
texinfo-4.8

Hi Kevin,

As an alternate, you can try installing the same version of Sudo from
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1111

Shalom,

The alternate version provided will probably work for you because HP tested it.

Its unfortunately fairly common for depots from the archive and porting center to fail at install time.

The HP ported version of the program will include the library that is needed.

Including the directory in the SHLIB_PATH but not having the required file there is a futile effort to correct the situation. Sometimes searching for the file libdb-3.1.sl on the porting and archive center site can help you find a package with the required library in it.

Install sudo from from the "Internet Express DVD" which came with hp-ux OS or download from below site.This works fine.

Thanks for the replies. Using the version of sudo from the link you provided worked.

Now I just have to learn how to setup the sudoers file and I'm good to go.

If you know of a good reference for setting up the sudoers file please post. As it didn't install a MAN page for sudoer just sudo.

Cheers

Good references for sudo are available on the sudo home page:

http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/

You woulc also tru 'man visudo' and see if has any info. Also, the 'sudoers' file, does have documentation and examples in it.

Remember to use 'visudo' to edit the sudoers file.
