Installing sudo on Solaris 10

[tobyaw]

Install the Sun developer tools, and curl. Then:

$ curl -O ftp://ftp.sudo.ws/pub/sudo/sudo-1.6.9p4.tar.gz
$ gunzip sudo-1.6.9p4.tar.gz
$ tar -xf sudo-1.6.9p4.tar
$ cd sudo-1.6.9p4
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin
# export PATH
# make install

The sudo configuration is stored in a file /etc/sudoers which is edited by running /usr/local/sbin/visudo as root. To allow all members of the staff group to use sudo, add the line:

%staff  ALL=(ALL) SETENV: ALL
