Can you execute the below command from that user for listing.

sudo -l

When I run the command I get the same error message as shown in the picture on my first post:

Code:
AIX-7-DEV.lab.xxx:[/usr/bin]sudo -l

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.

Please use CODE tags as in the forum rules for posting code, files, input and output/errors

Seems sudo is not configured/misconfigured.
Please reconfigure it for the respective user.
Or test with full access,

Code:
YourUserName    ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Well, I was after the output from who am i rather than whoami, but the ps has picked up that information anyway.

I'm confused as to the process 2963836 owned by MorSudo How does this come in to things?

It seems to be several shells/users deep, switching shells ksh/bash and users (guy, root, logon & MorSudo) starting with the first process shown
Code:
root 6291704 5963836   0 14:14:02  pts/0  0:00 bash
