It sounds like you are using 'sudo su' or 'sudo bash' or some
similar incantation. That is not the easiest way of using sudo.
I like to sodo each command:
sudo vi /some/file
sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/myprog start
sudo /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv some@addresss
Doing it this way you take avantage of your shells command
history, aliases and paths.
If you realy want to sudo to a shell you can choose to source the
.profile for that shell by telling the shell to load it using an option.
sudo bash --login
