On aix 7100 when I issue a sudo getconf or sudo bootinfo -s .. there may be more... but it comes back with no output..

Comment 1 Todd C. Miller 2016-06-29 10:51:35 MDT

The sudo 1.6.x branch is no longer supported.  The latest version of sudo is 1.8.17p1.  You can download AIX sudo packages from:
    https://www.sudo.ws/download.html#binary

If you are using the Bull Freeware sudo package, you can find more up to date versions of the package at:
    http://www.bullfreeware.com/search.php?package=sudo

This might be a bug fixed in 1.8.17 where the command could be killed by SIGPIPE.  You can verify this by checking the value of $? after running the command.  For example:

$ sudo getconf BOOT_DEVICE; echo $?

if the number 141 is printed then the command was killed by SIGPIPE and you will need sudo 1.8.17 or higher

Sudo 1.6.x is no longer supported, please try sudo 1.8.19 and reopen if the bug exists in that version.
