Title:
  add sudoer rule by userid (#uid)

Status in sudo:
  Unknown
Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Ubuntu 14.04]

  sudo 1.8.9p5 had a bug which caused any rule added to sudoers to be
  ignored if the user was stated by user id (with the username works
  just fine).

  For instance:

  #33        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

  Is ignored, while:

  myusername        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

  works just fine.

  This bug has been fixed in the current stable release of sudo
  (1.8.10p3) and it would be convenient if the patch could be applied to
  the current sudo package in Ubuntu 14.04 (sudo1.8.9p5-1ubuntu1 )

  You can check the original bug report (and patch) here:
