Prerequisites for using Linux and HP-UX root credentials

If you have run HP SUM as a root user, remove the temp directory created by HP SUM.

Make sure you have read/write access permissions to the /tmp and /var directories.

If you create a sudo user, make sure that you add that user to the /etc/sudoers file. The following table shows the privileges and specifications for users.

Edit the entry in the /etc/sudoers file so the system asks for the sudo user password instead of root user password when you run the sudo command.

The following table shows the privileges to comment or remove from /etc/sudoers.

This often occurs in SUSE Linux systems.

#Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user. For example,

	WARNING! Only use this option with Defaults targetpw.

To use super user functionality, configure the user as a super user with all root privileges. You can also use non-root user with a root user to update components.
