Hi experts,

Need your help in installing visudo on hp-ux.

It would be great if you can provide me following details

(a) From where to download visudo package.
(b) Installation steps to install visudo.

Thanks in Advance!!!

a) software.hp.com , your are looking for HP-UX Internet Express for HP-UX 11i v3 (or whatever version of HPUX your are using)

Select ixSudo from there, download it and copy to your HPUX machine.

Install it using swinstall -s /path/to/depot/name.depot \*

b) visudo will then be available as well as complete sudo functionality

/usr/sbin/visudo -> /opt/iexpress/sudo/sbin/visudo

Regards
Peasant.

Thanks for the reply peasant.

I have downloaded ixSudo.

However few doubts regarding the installation and configuration

(i) swinstall -s /path/to/depot/name.depot \*
what does \* mean in the above command?

(ii) After installing it using above command, are there any configurations that needs to be done or directly we can edit the sudoers file using visudo.

It means install all from that depot

It's optional, if you don't use it, it will enter SAM(SMH) and you will have to select for install, confirm and stuff
This will install the depot without prompting for anything.

Be carefull with \* since depot files can contain various software bundled so check if you doubt with swlist
