sudo on HP-UX

[Debbie Downing_2]

Hi

Can anyone advise me where to look to find info on SUDO. I need to set a user up to perform certain tasks but I have not configured SUDO before so not sure of the process.

Regards

Debbie

Uses in the site of the HP: www.software.hp.com you can lower .depot of installation you are not necessary to compile.

Debbie,
depending on the activities perhaps restricted SAM may be an alternative. See -r option in "man sam".

Adding sudo to HP-UX is easiest by downloading the HP-compiled version from:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1111

You don't have to download all the packages, just the sudo package. The man page for sudoers is a help getting things started.

An alternative to sudo is to run sam with the -r option, select the user and then assign the required tasks. This is only for sysadmin tasks though. sudo can be configured to handle any set of tasks.
