Java
sudo seems missing in path ..

try these
$ which sudo
double check if sudo in path

$ locate sudo
Look for sudo in indexed database

$ find / -name sudo -type f 2>/dev/null
Most cruel way . look everywhere

Or with
Code:
pkginfo | grep sudo

You should also use visudo to edit the sudoers file, not vi.

Hi.

Did you look in /usr/sfw/bin?

Curious why you are able to edit the sudoers file if you're not root!
