[Bug 1074807] Re: Continues prompting for password even if set NOPASSWD in sudoers

Because auth_admin has absolutely nothing to do with sudo but with the
fact that you would have to authenticate as admin (i.e. the account that
makes the request needs to be in an adminesque group such as 'admin' and
the user needs to authenticate as being the owner of the account by
means of passphrase).

^

AdminIdentities does exactly what I wrote there, specify which groups
and/or accounts are considered an admin. If the requester is not part of
the AdminIdentities they are not getting in, if they fail to provide the
password for the account they are also not getting in. And it still has
no other relation to sudo other than ubuntu having a group sudo which is
qualifying as adminesque.
