In addition to the other replies, the way to get a root command prompt from 
sudu is:
$ sudo -s -H
/etc/sudoers permissions
-rw-r-----  1 root root 790 2005-05-31 15:26 sudoers
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root root 111368 2005-09-09 14:44 /usr/bin/sudo

And don't forget the entries in /usr/lib/sudo:
gaf at sauron:/etc> ls -l /usr/lib/sudo
total 12
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  787 2005-09-09 14:44 sudo_noexec.la
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 4904 2005-09-09 14:44 sudo_noexec.so
