It would be helpful to know what errors you are getting... in a
sparse zone, by default you're more likely NOT going to get a
default sudoers file copied over in to /etc ... copying that over
and maintaining permissions should be the only thing you need to
do.

Also, if you run sudo off of a non-inherited partition (defaults
to /lib, /platform, /sbin, /usr), you will probably need to mount
the partition (eg. /usr/local).

Lastly... you might also need to check that the partition that
you run "sudo" from allows setuid (check the mount table).

Note: I'm running a "shared" sudo across Solaris 10 zones without
any apparent issue.


Hope that helps...
