I am more used to Solaris where I would use the ldd command to check that all the libraries are present and correct, the FAQ at: 2.27: Where can I find ldd for AIX?
says where ldd for AIX is available.
To use ldd(1) you would cd to where sudo lives and then run:
This checks all the libraries are present, then run:
This will check all the symbols are present, this will show you which libraries you require more up to date versions of.
To make a more up to date library files available to only sudo you can cheat and write a wrapper script that puts the directory where you have put the more up to date libraries first (not one of the normal library directories) in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then call sudo $@. This is a kludge in some folks opinions but it works!
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I want to give some users access to root's crontab but only with a read privilege.
Is this possible to do or can only root or people with full root sudo view root's cron? (4 Replies)

I am a UNIX user but not an admin. I am asking our admins to create a "sudo" command to allow shutting down our AIX workstations gracefully (without just pulling the plug).
Is there a way to prevent the user from executing "shutdown" on another workstation or server on the network? (2 Replies)

viewsudo
VIEW-OS(1) General Commands Manual VIEW-OS(1)NAME
viewsudo - execute a command as another (virtual) user
SYNOPSIS
viewsudo [-g groupname|#gid] [-u username|#uid] command
DESCRIPTION
viewsudo allows a user to execute a command as the superuser or
another user in View-OS.
OPTIONS
viewsudo accepts the following command line options:
-g group
Normally, viewsudo sets the primary group to root. The -g option causes sudo to run the specified command with the primary group set
to group. To specify a gid instead of a group name, use #gid. When running commands as a gid, many shells require that the '#' be
escaped with a backslash ('[u2019]). If no -u option is specified, the command will be run as the invoking user (not root). In
either case, the primary group will be set to group.
-u user
The -u option causes viewsudo to run the specified command as a user other than root. To specify a uid instead of a user name, use
#uid. When running commands as a uid, many shells require that the '#' be escaped with a backslash ('[u2019]).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful execution of a program, the exit status from viewsudo will simply be the exit status of the program that was executed.
