yes, i'm logged as root user. When i said that i created a file 
"/etc/opt/csw/sudoers", that's because /opt/csw/etc/sudoers is on 
filesystem read-only mounted
In this page:
http://www.blastwave.org/userguide/sharingcsw.html
"Some packages and programs directly support looking in /etc/opt/csw 
first. "
That's what i expected...

thanks for reply,
