Most admins set up the system so that /etc/sudoers is not world read. From the way you are asking it seems like you might be a non-privileged user.

Anyway, try this from the command line:
To find the username mampwamp in the file
Code:
grep mampwamp /etc/sudoers

If you get 'permission denied' it means you cannot read the file.
