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 really need to configure /etc/sudoers, if you have not already. -Alan

sudo -s is so much neater! :)
But it is yet another unnecessary special case to remember.

What are you trying to achieve? Perhaps su is the command you need?

You don't use root's password, you use your own password.
This assumes you have an entry in /etc/sudoers for your account.

sudo expeccts your USER password, not the root password. the whole idea is the admin doesn't ened to give out the root password to give controlled admin privs to a user.
Goood John, But you please also clarify what does sudo means;
if it expects my own password then why not i can execute these command without giving "sudo" as prefix.
If i am a genuine sudoer then can i edit files on which only root has execution rights.

Because sudo is the program that gives you the rights to execute certain commands as root without actually being the root user. If you don't run the program "through" sudo, you won't get the rights.
If i am a genuine sudoer then can i edit files on which only root has execution rights.
If you have the relevant permissions set in sudoers, then the answer is yes.
The whole objective of sudo is to allow some users to do certain things that could otherwise be done only as root, without actually allowing the user to become root.
In short, sudo allows you to set things up so a certain user can execute a specific list of commands as root, but can't execute other commands as root. The list of commands that you allow that user to execute is determined by the sudoers file.

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.

Are you trying to run sudo when logged in as root? sudo is only used by non root users.
