can't use sudo

[Miner, Jonathan W (CSC) (US SSA)]

sudo is asking for your personal password, not the root password

My root password will not take with sudo, however I can always su with no problems.

 

$ sudo vi /etc/crontab

Password:

Sorry, try again.

 

I’m using SecureCRT to SSH in, and KeePass to copy/paste my root password.

 

Thanks,
