Why typing sudo cd whatever won’t change the directory?
Answer
cd is a shell builtin. sudo only works with executables. You could do sudo sh -c 'cd dirname' but as soon as the shell exits, you’re returned to the directory you started from. If you say what it is you’re trying to accomplish then I can help you find a way to do that.
