  • 1.  sudo binary path when installing from AIX toolbox

    Posted Tue December 06, 2022 11:39 AM
    Hello community - Need to understand what the official path to sudo is for AIX when installing from the AIX toolbox.

    Online documentation is not clear. We THINK it is /usr/bin/sudo but we need to be clear before we update a .

    We need this info for the following AIX levels:
    7.1
    7.2
    7.3

    Much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Todd Winkler

    Sudo gets installed in /opt/freeware/bin path but it also create a symlink in /usr/bin

    Our recommendation is to use /opt/freeware/bin path for AIX toolbox packages as not all packages create symlink.

     

    Thanks,
