I would like to +1 this issue for zones as well, given how paranoid the
sudo-binary is about the sudoers file, you can even use a symlink. HOWEVER
there is a workaround by use of an INCLUDE file reference in the master
sudoers file.

If you edit the sudoers file (/opt/csw/etc/sudoers) by commenting
EVERYTHING and adding these 2 lines at bottom:
#Since Sudo doesn't like symlinks, we need to keep the master sudoers file
small and do an INCLUDE sequence to /etc/opt/csw/sudoers to have a
locally-editable sudoers file
#include /etc/opt/csw/sudoers
