objects by default instead of svr4-style. This means that the
default sudo plugins are now .a (archive) files that contain a
.so shared object file instead of bare .so files. This was done
to improve compatibility with the AIX Freeware ecosystem,

a .a file as a plugin the name of the included .so file must
also be specified, for example /usr/libexec/sudo/sudoers.a(sudoers.so).
Sudo is still capable of loading svr4-style .so plugins and if
a .so file is requested, either via sudo.conf or the sudoers
file, and only the .a file is present, sudo will convert the
path from plugin.so to plugin.a(plugin.so). This ensures
compatibility with existing configurations. To restore the old,
