super v3.15

[Greg Hall]

Hi,

Any ideas where I can find super v3.15 or higher?

thanks, Greg

Please excuse my ignorance but what is this Super v3.15 or better ? What does it do ?

[Mel Burslan]

Well, I am still not sure about the scope of your "super" but if it is this one:

super-3.9.7

Super allows users to execute commands as a superuser

Description:

It can restrict which users on which hosts are allowed to execute setuid-root programs on a per-program and per-user basis. It is not restricted to running a program as root, it allows named users to execute programs as other users.

then you can visit this link for v3.9.7. Looks like only binaries available for it are for hpux v10.10 which is quite odd.

For the same purpose, may I suggest using sudo, which is much more widely tested and robust against malicious use (provided you are careful granting sudo access to eternal users) and has logging capabilities.

Nice try Mel.

Yes sudo is ok, but I have been given spec's which require 'super' (stupid name, asking for confusion). I also found the 3.9.7 version but can't find anything newer.
And yet I have another HPUX system here which has v3.15 installed.

odd indeed.

thanks anyway , Greg

(V)3.9.7 is newer than (V)3.15 in my book :)

can't agree. Perhaps it would make more sense if I said 3.15.5?

says that source code is at

ftp://ftp.ucolick.org/pub/users/will/

Latest version seems to be 3.26.0.

Hi Ermin,

here I am a year later looking for super again. So this time I remember to dish out some points :)

thanks, Greg
