SUDO

[Doug_85]

I've just downloaded SUDO 1.6.7 and have looked over the documentation. Does anyone know if there's any bugs or other anomalies I should be watching out for upon installation or implementation? I'm currently running HP-UX 11.0 on a Class L Server.

Thanks,
Doug

Hi,

Don't think there is anything particular you should be watching for.

Hope this helps.

Version 1.6.7p5 is the most recent. If this is not the patch level you have, you can check the changes here: http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/changes.html

Yes, I currently have the 1.6.7p5 version. Can this software potentially disable current user accounts on the system if improperly implemented?

Thanks,
Doug

No,

It has its own configuration file and doesn't modify any system files. It uses the /etc/passwd to identify UIDs and GIDs.

Hope this helps.

You can use to limit the commands certain user are allowed to use and to prevent the dissemination of the root password. For user account security, you want to change your system to Trusted and download a copy of Bastille for HP-UX: http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B6849AA
