Here is the procedure I followed to install sudo


downloaded the sudo RPM package from AIX toolbox for linux applications and tried installing, received dependency error.
sudo-1.8.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm



Code:

Then i found below link to fix the dependency error

installed below filesets
Code:

How can I fix the above error (sudo: fatal error, unable to load plugins)?

--- Post updated at 05:46 PM ---

we do not use ldap or active directory for these servers.

Your error message shows that this is missing:

Code:
/opt/freeware/libexec/sudo/sudoers.so

Please post the results of this:

Code:
ls -l /opt/freeware/libexec/sudo/

I am surprised by:
Code:
[root@LPAR]/>ls -ltr /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system      4477977 Jun 11 2012  /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a

I am not sure that at that date you had AIX 7.1
I suggest you read this link:
Bull Freeware
Erreur OpenSSL lors de la MAJ 7.1TL5-SP1-1731 - www.ahix.fr
As I wonder if your issue is something of the sort...

Thanks vbe for your reply. I see this "libssl.a" file only on this LPAR. I will take a look at the link.

But do you guys have any suggestion on installing sudo on AIX 7.1. like how you did in your environment. Till today, it was not really necessary.

@neo

Sorry I was trying in different ways, actually uninstalled the below filesets

idsldap.clt32bit64.rte 6.4.0.19 ROOT DEINSTALL SUCCESS
idsldap.clt32bit64.rte 6.4.0.19 USR DEINSTALL SUCCESS
idsldap.clt64bit64.rte 6.4.0.19 ROOT DEINSTALL SUCCESS
idsldap.clt64bit64.rte 6.4.0.19 USR DEINSTALL SUCCESS

idsldap.cltbase64.rte 6.4.0.19 USR DEINSTALL SUCCESS
idsldap.license64.rte 6.4.0.19 USR DEINSTALL SUCCESS




Thats why it says
[root@LPAR]/>ls -ltr /opt/freeware/libexec/sudo/sudoers.so
ls: 0653-341 The file /opt/freeware/libexec/sudo/sudoers.so does not exist.


otherwise it was there, please see information in my question.

We're not using Active directory and ldap in our environment

which of these below files needs to be installed ?
Code:
-rw-r--r--    1 aixuser  staff       1572717 Nov 21 15:04 sudo-1.8.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Not sure if applicable to you, but when I've had to install sudo on AIX I pull the packages directly from Todd's website:
Download Sudo


I've had so many issues with the toolkit that some packages are just better to install one off.



I will state, that if you obligations is to use sudo with One Identity, the files from sudo.ws will work.
