Hi Folks:
We've run sudo version 1.3.1p14 (basic functionality)
on AIX 4.2.1 for years. On AIX version 4.3.3,
we try one of the basic commands which is as follows:
dsmops_prod01[213]$/home/bin/sudo -v
Instead of being prompted for the password,
we get the following message:
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local Systems
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
Password:
dsmops_prod01[214]$
I've checked everything that I can find and compared
to the AIX version 4.2.1 system every aspect I can think
of, including:
- User attributes and definition
- Security, owner, group and content
of the following:
/home/bin/logs/sudochk
/etc/sudoers
/usr/local/scripts/sudoers
/home/bin/sudo
/usr/local/scripts/sudo
/usr/local/bin/sudo
This includes copying these files from a
working AIX version 4.2.1 system.
/home/bin/sudo -V returns the version, as it should.
/home/bin/sudo -l returns the program that the
user 'dsmops' is authorized to use.
Other than reinstalling from scratch, I'm out
of ideas.
I'd much appreciate any feedback. If I have to
reinstall from scratch, where are the most complete
instructions found?
Thanks,
Victor Milone
