Caesar proposed the following answer:
Hey chooky,

I think you mentioned sudo. Typically, you have installed this utility
(sudo) in a ubuntu dist. However, if you need to install it.

So, first you login as root; then you find out if you have this utility with command: find / -name "sudo" -print
and it should be /usr/bin/sudo if you did install it. In this case, you run this command: export PATH=PATH:/usr/bin (/usr/bin is where you have found your sudo), then it's ready to be used.

If you cannot find it. You can install it with command: apt-get install
sudo

Furthermore, a file in the /etc directory named sudoers decides whether
you have the right to use sudo. Issue command: man sudoers which will
tell you how to modify this file to make you have the authorith.
