Sudo is not installed on these machines.  Hm.  Not yet, anyway.

I've discovered that the rationale is that the user is installing Arcserve
on a Solaris box, and he says that Arcserve requires a "higher-level"
user.  In my experience, most programs that need such a thing create a new
user during installation (Apache, MySQL, PostGres, etc.).
