sudo environment setting?
Hi, first post. As the nick suggests I'm a Unix noob, but I'm doing everything I can to learn fast...job requirement. These forums have been a huge help so far.


I have a server running HP-UX 11.23b with Apache/2.0.59 HP-UX_Apache-based_Web_Server.

Apache is not installed in the default location and an issue (not highly important but irritating) has popped up suddenly. No one thus far has a clue how to fix it.

It only involves invoking some Apache commands using sudo. This environment variable disappears (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/web/app/hpws/apache/lib) when using sudo. For instance, type env at the command line and that variable is displayed in the output. Type sudo env at the command line and that environment variable doesn't exist in the output. I've checked and it's set in the /etc/profile and I've even gone so far as to set it in my .profile file, nothing works when using the sudo command.

My question is this, does anyone know how to set the system environment so that all users have the variable set when they use the sudo command without having to go through a bunch of commands to set it when they need it?

Any help is appreciated.

heimdal_debug

heimdal_debug(5)					      BSD File Formats Manual						  heimdal_debug(5)

NAME

     heimdal_debug -- how to turn on/off debugging for Kerberos tools

DESCRIPTION

     The heimdal_debug kerberos frameworks have several knobs for controlling logging.	The different framework knobs are:

     libkrb
	  The Kerberos library, some gss-api Kerberos output ends up here too

     kcm  the kcm library (credentials cache, ntlm client)

     kdc  the kerberos KDC output

     digest-service
	  the digest service (ntlm server)

CONFIGURATION FILE

	  [logging]
		  <subsystem> = 0-/SYSLOG:
     and watch syslog for logging information.

APPLE MAC OS X

     First turn up syslog debugging
	   sudo syslog -c 0 -d
     then you can see the syslog output in Console.app or by running
	   syslog -w -k org.h5l.asl
     To enable more extensive debugging logging for each subsystem, use the following commands:

	   Kerberos Library
		sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Kerberos logging -dict-add krb5 '0-/OSLOG:normal:'

	   digest-server
		sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Kerberos logging -dict-add digest-service '0-/OSLOG:normal:'

	   kcm	sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Kerberos logging -dict-add kcm '0-/OSLOG:normal:'

	   kdc	sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Kerberos logging -dict-add kdc '0-/OSLOG:normal:'

	   MIT Kerberos Shim
		defaults write com.apple.MITKerberosShim EnableDebugging -bool true

	   GSS-API framework logging
		sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.GSS DebugLevel -int 10

Other options on Mac OS X
	  Make the admin API pretend to the server even on client
	       sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Kerberos ForceHeimODServerMode -bool true
