Marylou,
To configure sudo you need to take this steps.
/usr/sbin/visudo it will open the file /etc/sudoers
put these entry into it
%groupname servername=/usr/sbin/diskinfo,/usr/sbin/swlist
or
username servername=/usr/sbin/diskinfo,/usr/sbin/swlist

Save the file

switch to user username
run
sudo /usr/sbin/diskinfo
it will ask passwd of the user

>sudo: must be setuid root

What is the permissions and owners of sudo?
It should be owned by root and probably look at least like "-r-s...", that "s" for setuid.
