That has to do with what's in /etc/sudoers, I imagine. When
I've gotten that error, it's meant that sudoers is
configured to only let me run one or two commands. For most
people, I imagine -- and certainly on most machines I've
used -- sudoers are equivalent to root.

But yes, I suppose I should have qualified my 'sudo find'
command with the words "if you're allowed to run 'find' as
sudo."
