I am running HP-UX 11.31 and using ixpress sudo to allow users to run some commands....
The issue is the many messages it puts out to the root tty throughout the day....
Is there a way to stop these messages from displaying:
Jul 17 18:25:14 tmoa1db01 sudo: sysadmin : /var/adm owned by uid 4, should be uid 0 ; TTY=pts/2 ; PWD=/osg1/home/sysadmin ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/su - root
I am writing the sudo outputs log to /var/log/sudolog, so my only guess for this message is that the sulog is written to /var/adm/sulog ???
I've checked all of my other HP-UX servers and all of them have the /var/adm ownership at adm:adm, just like this server, so I am not sure
why it is complaining about this here....
=>ls -al /var
drwxr-xr-x 20 adm adm 8192 Jul 17 18:20 adm
Can anyone help in resolving this issue ??
