Commands invoked using sudo do not receive/honor environment items or aliases.
Example would be the alias vi="vim". Invoking normally will run vim, invoking
using sudo vi will get the "other" vi.
Is there something else I need in /etc/profile or some .bashrc?
yes, you have to put correct entries in /etc/sudoers
for more information on setting up sudoers, do google for 'howto sudo', there are hundreds of pointers!
