That post was wrong.  One of the great features of a zone is that
you can give someone permissions to do things without having to
grant the same permissions in the global zone (depending on which
permissions of course :-).

So go ahead and create a sudoers file in the local zone.  It will
only work for the local zone that you created it in.
