Hi,
1. Install SFWsudo package.
2. It will create sfw diretcory under /opt.
3. Under /opt/sfw/etc u can find sudoers file. U can edit this file using visudo ( prefered ) or vi and define the following:
# Host alias specification
Host_Alias LOCALHOST = server-name
4. Suppose if u want to restrict command x,y and z inder /susr/sbin u can do the following:
1. define a command aliase in sudoers
Cmnd_Alias RESTRICTED = /usr/sbin/x , /usr/sbin/y , /usr/sbin/z
5. Then if u need give full sudo access to user-A and restricted access to user-B, then do the following sudoers file:
user-A ALL=(ALL) ALL
user-B LOCALHOST = ALL, !RESTRICTED
6. Make sure permission of sudoers file must be 440 or 400.

Thanks,
smishra

Where is SWFsudo located? You need to point the -d option to where it has been placed. Other than that are you getting any error messages?

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.

First you have to download the SFWsudo package file from

http://www.sunfreeware.com.

Oops, I made the assuption that Jaya had already downloaded the package, but you're probably right Anni!!

I really appreciate all your suggestions. I figured out sudo is already installed in solaris 10. I went into sudoers file under /etc and added the user

jaya ALL=(ALL) ALL

then logged in as jaya and typed $/opt/local/bin/sudo format
it asked for my password and then came back with sudo:format not found....

What do I do...........please help

Thanks a million

You have to put the full path to the format binary, e.g. /usr/sbin/format.

Annihilannic.

if you are logged in as a user, you can edit the path of that user to include /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:usr/local/bin etc....

That should make it so you do not have to fully qualify each command.

 

[Annihilannic]

I think sudo ignores user profiles.

Try changing your entry to read:

jaya ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
