Description Baskar 2006-11-27 17:28:47 MST

Hi,
I have configured nis in 10 solaris and 4 linux boxes.
i have done automount for sudo in nis.
i download the sudo package and installed under /usr/local.
On all solaris boxes the sudo read rom /usr/local but linux boxes do not read from /usr/local.it reads from its default /etc/sudoer file.
even manually i try to run /usr/local/bin/sudo on linux boxes.
it displays "cannot execute binary file".
how can i access sudo in centralised way. 

Thanks in advance
Regards
Baskar.N

This kind of question is better suited to the sudo-users mailing list.  It sounds like what you need to do is to rebuild sudo on your linux machines to use /usr/local/etc/sudoers instead of the default /etc/sudoers.  E.g. give conifgure the --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc parameter.
