privs for luminis admin to start/stop cp

We're trying to get from redhat 3 to redhat 4 for Luminis IV. The sys admin who set up our current systems is gone. Working with the new sys admin, I'm trying to replicate the functionality of our RH 3 system on RH 4.

The sticking point is that from the luminis admin OS account, I can't issue startcp or stopcp, it is demanding the root password.

The sudo-ers setup has been replicated. It looks good ... at least it's the same on the new RH 4 host as it is on the production RH 3 host. Far as I can tell, I have /etc/passwd and /etc/group right.

Is there something new I need to do for RH 4?

I found it, sort of. I need

I found it, sort of. I need a value for SUDO set. I see it is set on the production host but I can't tell where. Suggestions?

Sungard sent info for Solaris for Luminis III saying to set it in the admin account's .profile. I did

export SUDO=`which sudo`

since it's in the path. That works but may not be the best way. Suggestions?

rc-common

Check rc-common in /opt/pipeline/bin/rc/

But hey if setting it in .profile works, you can run with that, and not have to patch rc-common after every upgrade

found it

The previous admin had added it to .cprc.

So ... I'm good to go.
