Bug 494

What version of HP-UX is this and is the architecture PA-RISC or IA64?  Are you using one of the prebuilt HP-UX packages?  If so, which one?  If not, what configure options did you use when building sudo?

The output of the following commands would also be helpful:

$ ls -l /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so
$ ldd /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so
$ file /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so

HP-UX 11.31 IA64

$ ls -l /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  sys  1150076 Apr 26 17:47 /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so

$ ldd /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so

/usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so:
        libpam.so.1 =>  /usr/lib/hpux32/libpam.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/hpux32/libdl.so.1

$ file /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so
/usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so:  ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

- I am working to track down the install information from the person who installed it. Let me know if anything from above points to any issues.

Thanks for the quick response

Also,

sudo was built from source. Since there was not a build for HP-UX 11.31

Thanks

I would expect the HP-UX 11.23 binary package to work on HP-UX 11.31.  It looks like the sudoers.so file you have installed is not a valid shared object.  Here's what I see on an HP-UX 11.23 ia64 machine:

$ file /usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so 
/usr/local/libexec/sudoers.so:       ELF-32 shared object file - IA64

I believe you can run into this with the bundled HP C compiler which doesn't support building shared object file.  For some reason it only prints a warning instead of exiting with an error which makes detecting the problem via configure problematic.  If you build with gcc it should work correctly.

It seems that newer versions of the HP bundled compiler will identify themselves as such via "cc -V".  The output will look something like:

(Bundled) cc: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.50 [May 15 2003]

The HP-UX 11.23 binary package does work with 11.31. Thank You

Hello,

This is not fixed, it sill don't work when you compile it by yourself.
I can't use the binary package provided because I need LDAP Support.

My compile options :

You cannot build sudo with the bundled compiler as it is unable to create shared objects.  You either need to install gcc or purchase the unbundled compiler from HP.

HP offers a gcc package for download that should be able to build sudo, see  http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/site/dspp/menuitem.863c3e4cbcdc3f3515b49c108973a801?ciid=2a08725cc2f02110725cc2f02110275d6e10RCRD

Thank you for your quick response, i will buy this compiler to get LDAP Support.

Thank for your great work.
