AIX Open Source Tip: Useful tips for Sudo

Question & Answer


Question

How can I install sudo on AIX?

Answer

The following Sudo packages are available on the AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software ("AIX Toolbox") download site:

1. sudo: Sudo with open ldap support
2. sudo_noldap: Sudo with no ldap support
3. sudo_ids: Sudo with IBM Directory Server support

  • These packages are mutually exclusive.  Choose the package that meets your requirements.
  • Be sure to remove any non-AIX Toolbox Sudo packages to avoid conflicts.
TIP: The AIX Toolbox team recommends using DNF to install and manage Open Source software packages and dependencies.
