Have you tried the man pages of the OS and/or google for answers?
Guess it somewhat depends on your actual sudo and operating system
implementation,
but I relatively quickly found the following link
http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/man/sudo.html
Check the various options and their interactions with environment
variables, as it looks like this approach may be what you're looking for.
Hope this helps.

I have a problem with a developer login where we want to provide 'root'
privileges on our DEV box.
HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800 (tl)
UniVerse 9.6 in Pick flavor
This is done by changing the login profile to run something this:
exec /usr/local.bin/sudo /usr/opt/uv/bin/uv
This gives us 'root' access in UniVerse.
For one user this is not working but I cannot spot any difference in his
setup from anyone else's.
The exec sudo (above) is changing the user id to root.
For our other users the @LOGNAME in UniVerse does not change.
Our login process relies on the @LOGNAME to perform some other checks
which are now failing for this user.
Can anyone explain why the user.id would be changed by 'sudo'.
Is there some setting or switch for sudo where this is controlled?
Alternatively, is there a UniVerse option where the User Name might be
somehow reset? (really clutching at straws here.)
Cheers
