I just forgot, I wanted to add something. The SUDOers file is not
something you want to change or play with for this problem. It is,
howerver, fun to look at it and read the manual page for it (ever see
so much nerd gargon in on place??). I have mine set up so that it
insults me when I type the password incorrectly. Take a look this
feature is easy to turn on.
