Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Unable to use the Sudo command. "0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for sudo because:" Post 302381986 by TonyFullerMalv on Monday 21st of December 2009 04:09:55 PM

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:
Code:
$ ldd ./sudo

This checks all the libraries are present, then run:
Code:
$ ldd -r ./sudo

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!

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 SEE ALSO
