sudo on 10.2 system

[William Pribble]

I installed sudo from the HP public domain web sight using swinstall (ver 1.6.2b1) on my 10.20 server. When I try to execute I get the following error message.

su: /usr/local/bin/sudo: Execute permission denied.

The permission are as follows on the sudo files.

# ll /usr/local/bin/sudo
---S--x--x 1 root root 364792 Jun 22 2001 /usr/local/bin/sudo

# ll /usr/local/etc/visudo
---x--x--x 1 root root 214608 Jun 22 2001 /usr/local/etc/visudo

# ll /etc/sudoers
-r--r----- 1 root root 767 Jun 22 2001 /etc/sudoers

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do you have your sudoers file setup correctly, and what are you trying to run.. su?
then do this
sudo su 'username'

Hi,

The correct permission for 'sudo' files are as below.

r--r----- 0/0 398 Jul 27 15:06 2001 /etc/sudoers
--x--x--x 0/0 102400 Jul 27 14:54 2001 /usr/local/sbin/visudo
r--r--r-- 0/0 16851 Jul 27 14:54 2001 /usr/local/man/man1m/sudo.1m
r--r--r-- 0/0 8801 Jul 27 14:54 2001 /usr/local/man/man1m/visudo.1m
--s--x--x 0/0 135168 Jul 27 14:54 2001 /usr/local/bin/sudo

Yes I believe I have the account set up correctly. It is a copy from an 11.0 system on which sudo works properly.

When I sudo su username ..... I receive the same error message.

Thanks

MIchael,
I change the permissions on the /usr/local/bin/sudo from 4011 to 4111 and I still get the error message when I try to execure a command using sudo.

Thanks

Hi,

If this is a copy from your HPUX 11 system and
you are trying to run it a 10.20 system it could be that the binaries are not compatiable. Suggest you download one from the porting centre that has been compiled under 10.20.

Here's the link:

Michael,
The only thing copied was the /etc/sudoers file, I used the sight that you suggested to get a copy of sudo and using swinstall installed the depot copy from the hp public domain web sight.

Thanks

Hello Elaine,

I agree with Michael that you will want to take a look at the ported version with the link provided by him. Also make sure that root had a UID of 0 and that /etc/group root is the only use in the 0 entry. Other then that everything looks good as far as ownership and permission. I use sudo soley in my environment so I've run into just about anything you can think with the product.

Good Luck,

Layne
