Hi guys, Thanks
What i am trying to achieve is; when executing
# sudo make install Password:*********
this password entered is root password.
it gives is error
Sorry, try again.
Sudo asks for the user's password NOT the root password. Please read the documentation, carefully.
man sudo man sudoers
but when i do a su - and then gave the same root password. I am able to switch account to user.
Am am trying to add my account to sudoers file. It should be easy i think.

Hello guys;
I am not able to use sudo command on my just installed centos5.3
But i know i am using right password to root.
Is this is by default not enabled; if so, what to do.
You don't use root's password, you use your own password.
This assumes you have an entry in /etc/sudoers for your account.
