Sounds like sudo is not setuid root.  If this is not it then please send
the version of sudo to sudo-bugs@cs.colorado.edu and we'll try and
sort out the problem.  sudo 1.3 and higher works on BSD/386 (bsdi) as
well as utah HPBSD 2.0 so I see no reason why it would not work under
FreeBSD and NetBSD.
