Hi Aaron,

the aliases probably haven't disappeared. They rather are hidden.
After you exit the sudo shell they should »reappear«.

But after doing »sudo ksh« you could source your environment
file containing the alias definitions (e.g. . ~/.kshenv).

If the account you invoke sudo from has ksh as login shell you
should succeed by invoking it as: sudo su
