Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments
Sudo is supplied in source form and you need to compile it.
This isn't difficult! Before doing so, you need to have installed the g(un)zip program and a C compiler.
Installing sudo
Prefare the source download it from http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/download.html,
bash> uname -sr SunOS 5.9
bash> wget ftp://ftp.sudo.ws/pub/sudo/sudo-1.6.9p5.tar.gz bash> gunzip -dc sudo-1.6.9p56.tar.gz |tar xvf - bash> cd sudo-1.6.9p5 bash> ./configure bash> ./make bash> ./make install
Add environment Parameter ( added in .profile User$)
bash> export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin bash> export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/man/:/usr/local/man
Added Sudoers
bash> visudo
find
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
Add user id to make him power like root
hendra ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
The power of root
bash> sudo vi /etc/passwd
UPDATE
This post was old, so I will update and try on my Solaris 10 x86.
so enjoy this technically tutor.
First install your compiler, make, wget and don't forget with the dependencies, grab your packet from http://sunfreeware.com
uname -sr SunOS 5.10
bash> gunzip libiconv-1.11-sol10-x86-local.gz bash> gunzip db-4.2.52.NC-sol10-intel-local.gz bash> gunzip gcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local.gz bash> gunzip libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local.gz bash> gunzip make-3.81-sol10-x86-local.gz bash> gunzip wget-1.11.4-sol10-x86-local.gz bash> pkgadd -d libiconv-1.11-sol10-x86-local bash> pkgadd -d db-4.2.52.NC-sol10-intel-local bash> pkgadd -d libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local bash> pkgadd -d libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local bash> pkgadd -d make-3.81-sol10-x86-local bash> pkgadd -d wget-1.11.4-sol10-x86-local
Now install the sudo
bash> export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin bash> wget ftp://ftp.sudo.ws/pub/sudo/sudo-1.7.0.tar.gz bash> gunzip sudo-1.7.0.tar.gz bash> tar -xvf sudo-1.7.0.tar bash> cd sudo-1.7.0 bash> ./configure bash> make bash> make install
Last try to add anything user as you like
bash> visudo
and find code like here..
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
then add user id to make him power like root
hendra ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
The power of root (part 2)
bash> id uid=100(hendra) gid=101(jagoan) bash> export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin bash> sudo useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false tes
Done.
worked like a charm, Thanks!
Enjoy the magic show here..
thanks for feedback verboze

Hi,
i tried this.it works good.But when user logs out and again login he is not assigning the sudo features.Every time whenever user login,he has to set the path like what u have mentioned above
# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin
then only user can access the root previlleges using sudo.Pls help to me get out of this.Thanks for the code.
Regards
cherry
cherry:
put "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin" in your profile (.profile), or user who added in sudo user.
Hi hendra,
Thanks for your valuble suggestion.I set the same path like what u mentiond above like this
"export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin" in users .profile file.Now its executing when ever user logout and login.
But here is new issue like its not accepting the command when i try to give command like this.
# sudo mv
output: command not found
Now i execute the command like this
#/usr/local/bin/sudo mv
when i execute this command then only its working.
we can not give the complete command every time like this.
pls suggest me.

cherry:
actually when you mention some path in your environment it's usually working and we doesn't give full path in every command. If you not clearly understood better you used soft link.
# sudo mv
output: command not found
please add "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin" in all users in your system, even root, or you can add those path in your "/etc/profile".
Sorry for late reply,
Hi
I mentioned same path in the /etc/profile as root.Even though its not executing with out full path of sudo command like /usr/local/bin/sudo.
even i mentioned a path like below in /etc/profile file.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
and saved it.But now also its not working with out full path of sudo command.
Sorry if i am disturbing you.
No problem cherry, mmm..maybe you can create soft link for this, "ln -s /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/bin/sudo".
let me if its not working
Hi,
Now sudo works good.I mentioned the path(/usr/local/bin) in the users .bash_profile file.Then onwards its working good with out full path(/usr/local/bin/sudo) of the sudo.
can i contact you if any issues come other than sudo through this site?
Thanks for your valuble help.
@cherry
sound good..but don't remove sudo path in your /etc/profile, it effect when your created new user, so you don't bother to added sudo path in every new user had you created.
yes, don't hesitate to contact me.
Hi, I followed the same but getting an error saying wget not found after running this command-wget ftp://ftp.sudo.ws/pub/sudo/sudo-1.7.0.tar.gz, i have already installed wget.
Please help
