The SUDO command:
sudo - execute a command as another user

SYNOPSIS
sudo -V | -h | -l | -L | -v | -k | -K | -s | [ -H ] [-P ] [-S ] [ -b ]
| [ -p prompt ] [ -c class|- ] [ -a auth_type ] [ -u username|#uid ]
command

DESCRIPTION
sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or
another user, as specified in the sudoers file. The real and effective
uid and gid are set to match those of the target user as specified in
the passwd file (the group vector is also initialized when the target
user is not root). By default, sudo requires that users authenticate
themselves with a password (NOTE: by default this is the user's pass-
word, not the root password). Once a user has been authenticated, a
timestamp is updated and the user may then use sudo without a password
for a short period of time (5 minutes unless overridden in sudoers).

sudo determines who is an authorized user by consulting the file
/etc/sudoers. By giving sudo the -v flag a user can update the time

It's sudo port...no s on the end.

yes. always consult man page before copy/pasting something in the terminal you found online.

thanks for that but even using port dont work still get command not found

My guess the port command is not in your path.

Try the folllowing: sudo ./port install gaim

That is asuming you are sitting where you installed the software.

THe next question is did you have a problem with the xcode install or the darwinports install?

04-28-2005, 12:24 PM

/darwinports is the directory that im in and i tried the sudo ./port install gaim
tried the same in the /darwinports/dports folder but i then get
./port command not found

only problem i say when installing was X11 not found as it was running the make part of the install

I am assuming the you are trying to run a command called port and the system does not know where the command is located.

Try the following to see if you can locate the command.

sudo find / -name port -exec ls -l {} \;

Enter the above line jet as it is. Hopefully, it will locate the command. If it does not, then it is not on your system.

is what it gives so that means that its installed yes?

04-29-2005, 04:05 PM

Now that you know it is installed, do the following:

sudo /opt/local/bin/port install gaim

Thanks rman that worked a treat

can i set that path as an alias now like i can in linux?
If so is it the same and where is the location of the file to do it?

04-29-2005, 09:31 PM

I don't know about the tcsh (trusted shell), but I know you can in csh (c shell) and ksh (kron shell). I believe the file that you want to create is the .tcshrc

Below is an example, I found my googling .tcshrc.

Modifying your .tcshrc file
The following is an example .tcshrc file. The most up-to-date version is located in /usr/local/tcsh as tcsh.cshrc.
