Start by giving the ouput of

 swlist -l product |grep sudo

Was it an HP depot from a HP archive center?

add
You should normally find it in /usr/local/bin - AND - /usr/local/bin is not inculded by default in the PATH on HP-UX, mostly fo security reasons so it is no reason to add it as standard to all... I use aliases... or add the PATH on command line when I need it...

hi vbe,

this the output :

# swlist -l product | grep sudo
  sudo                  1.8.8          sudo

in /usr/local/bin i can see sudo and sudoedit but still can not do visudo or manual sudo.

# man sudo
No manual entry for sudo.
# visudo
sh: visudo:  not found.

Check your $PATH if it includes /usr/local/bin echo $PATH , or invoke the commands with full path like /usr/local/bin/sudo <your stuff>

Nothing is wrong. You simply don't have /usr/local/bin in your path. I don't either, on any of my servers. This is the default. To run an executable from a location not in your path, you have to specify the full path to that executable.

For example, instead of running 'sudo' or 'visudo' you need to run '/usr/local/bin/sudo' or '/usr/local/bin/visudo'

Alternatively, you can update your path variable and add the /usr/local/bin location to it.

You had it all explained in my first post ( #2 ..)...
