Sudo is installed :

# dpkg -l | grep sudo
ii  libgksu1.2-0                                            1.3.8-1
library providing su and sudo functionality
ii  libgksu2-0                                              2.0.5-1
library providing su and sudo functionality
ii  sudo                                                    1.6.9p9-1
Provide limited super user privileges to specific users

My /etc/sudoers file is attached.

Nicolas.
