password works for root login but not for user sudo commands

[Pigeons]

I am trying to mount a shared folder on my user account but it won't accept my root password when I put 'sudo' in front of the command, I can login to root fine however with the same password! Does anyone know what is going on? I am using Solaris 11 on the virtual box.

I suspect that your user is not in the sudo file. Google solaris sudo to find out how or use su.

Exactly right, thanks
