Sudo question

[Waqar Razi]

What is the difference between these two files:

sudo-1.6.9p17-hppa-11.11.depot.gz
sudo-1.6.9p17-src-11.11.tar.gz

Both of them are available for installation of sudo on hpux 11.11 PA RISC based servers. Which one is to choose for installation.

Also I have a question, how can I extract the file from this gz format on hpux platform.

Also please state the steps to install and configure sudo on HPUX server.

The first appears to be a SD depot, ready to install with swinstall. The second is a tar of the source, which could be loaded if you wanted or needed to build your own sudo.

How can you extract depot file out of .gz file:

I tried tar xvfz nameoffile

but its giving me error.

[Sajjad Sahir]

sudo-1.6.9p17-src-11.11.tar.gz
regarding this
first u have gunzip

gunzip sudo-1.6.9p17-src-11.11.tar.gz(full path name )
then u can extract by using tar xvf command

You just need to gunzip the file.

# gunzip sudo-1.6.9p17-hppa-11.11.depot.gz

Then you can use swinstall to install.

If the file is in /var/tmp, then:

# swinstall -s /var/tmp/sudo-1.6.9p17-hppa-11.11.depot \*

1) looks like you have a corrupted download

2) the depot is for 11.11, your server is running 11.00 - doesn't fit together!

I've had this error on some of my servers. For whatever reason swinstall was not able to set the permissions on the sudo executable correctly.

You probably just need to set them manually:

# chown root:root /usr/local/bin/sudo
# chmod 4111 /usr/local/bin/sudo

Now give sudo a try and see if it works.
