    Thanks to Rochelle Lauer and Kris Smith for their responses. After
    searching online and verifying with Rochelle Lauer I reconfigured sudo with
    the --with-c2 option and recompiled and now sudo works.

    Thanks again,

    Chris

    Admins,

            I currently have a tru64 server running 5.1 with an account that
    uses sudo for certain root level functions. This weekend we enabled
    enhanced security and now when users of this account try to authenticate
    using the password on the account they are unsuccessfull. I am very
    unfamiliar with sudo so I don't know if there is anything with sudo or
    enhanced security I need to change to get this to work. Any ideas?

    TIA,
