  10. Help!
  11.  
  12. I am trying make sudo (v1.2) work on a HP 9000/380 running HP-UX 8.0.
  13.  
  14. Trying to make the program revealed the following problems:
  15. * setruid, which was converted to use setresuid.
  16. * getwd, which was converted to use getcwd.
  17. * getdtablesize which has no HP equivalent call but source was found in
  18.  this newsgroup.
  19.  
  20. The program now makes happilly, however sudo just lets authorized users
  21. access programs WITHOUT them having to enter their password.
  22. Unauthorized users are denied access as expected.
  23.  
  24. Any ideas? Before I get too carried away working out why it doesn't
  25. work as expected, has anyone else ported sudo to HP-UX?
  26.  
  27. Regards,
  28.  
  29. Gary
