Re: Sudo does not work...

You need to set up sudo. The default configuration doesn't give any rights to any group or user.

As root type

  visudo

There you will see some examples.

You are also encouraged to read the sudo man page.

Are you sure you have sudo installed? Try just running sudo..

If it's not there you need to install it with pacman -S sudo
