You can get a pre-compiled version of sudo for AIX at
IBM AIX Toolbox Download Page - Alphabetical Listing
You install with "rpm -i sudo*rpm"
(If you don't have rpm.rte installed on your OS you will need that first to install the sudo rpm.)
Now my memory is a little fuzzy but the following should work:
Enter "visudo" and add the line:
username hostname=/usr/bin/mksysb
:wq to write and quit visudo
Now the user would enter the command "sudo mksysb" and it will prompt for the users password and log what has happened in the syslog.

Takes given SCAP input(s) and makes an RPM package that contains them. The result RPM can be installed using # yum install ./pack-
age-name-1-1.rpm which will put the contents into /usr/share/xml/scap. No dependency on openscap or scapworkbench is enforced in the output
package so you can use any SCAP-capable scanner to evaluate the content.
