When sudo doesn't do anything, then the problem is usually in the file 
/etc/sudoers which says who has the authority to issue which commands.

See man sudoers.

The best approach is to use command visudo as root to modify this file.  If you 
prefer to use emacs as your editor, use command

  VISUAL=/usr/bin/emacs visudo -f /etc/sudoers

There is a detailed visudo tutorial at
