  • 1.  I want to know how to deal with it and the correct upgrade method for SUDO

    Posted Mon June 06, 2022 04:46 AM
    hello all.
    I am asking this question from Japan.
    I'm not very good at English.


    <environment>
    AIX 7100-03 (7.1 TL3 SP5)

    Current SUDO version (lslpp -l | grep sudo)
    　USFSsudo.rte 1.8.18.1 COMMITTED Sudo V1.8.18p1 NOEXEC none
    　USFSsudo.rte 1.8.18.1 COMMITTED Sudo V1.8.18p1 NOEXEC none

    <Inquiry background>
      I want to upgrade SUDO of AIX, which is not connected to the Internet, to 1.8.28 or higher.
      There, I got the module, placed it in the target directory of AIX, and executed "smitty update_all".
      But The following error occurred and the version upgrade failed.

      Placed module
    　　sudo-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
      Command executed
           $ sudo smitty update_all
      error occurred

    Looks like you have installed sudo.rte that is different from the AIX toolbox provided sudo.
    AIX toolbox sudo has different dependent rpms to be installed for sudo to install. 
    You need to use rpm command to install or smitty install. 
    Also you need to first remove the existing sudo to not to have conflict.
    It might not be as easy to just update a package as they are two different packaging format and different dependencies.

    Probably you want to find from where you have installed the existing version of sudo. 
    You may want to try https://www.sudo.ws/getting/download/

    FYI: USFSsudo.rte was part of ESD (Electronic Software Distribution), used to serve IBM GTS global accounts. This file set was installed on IBM managed systems by IBM Global Technology Services. If your system is now managed by Kyndryl,  contact your representative to discuss this file set.
