I'm not familiar with GKLM but this should just be a matter of
running the visudo command as root and adding a rule to the
/etc/sudoers file that allows access.

However, I'm a little surprised that /usr/bin/ksh is being rejected
when the user runs /usr/bin/su.  I would not expect that to happen
unless you have the enabled the "intercept" option in sudoers.
