Hello All,

I am attempting to install Sudo on an AIX 4.3.3 machine.  I attempted
multiple downloads as well as attempting to install sudo-1.6.6.0.  Below
are the steps I took.

1) I obtained the AIX install "sudo-1.6.3.6" from the Bull site
(http://ftp.rge.com/pub/systems/aix/bull/) .  

2) I ftp'd this (in binary) to the AIX server and put it in it's own
directory (/techsupt/sudo).  It is  
    an ".exe file".

3) As root I changed the permissions of the file to 
    -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     sys   266412  Jul 11 13:29
sudo-1.6.3.6.exe

4) As a non-root user I attempted to execute the file  
./sudo-1.6.3.6.exe from its own directory  

5) Below are the commands as well as the error message:

==========End commands

Can some help?  This seems like a good utility and I would like to try
it.  

Also would someone know of documentation I can obtain for Sudo?

Thank you all in advance,
