sudo

[Massimo Marino]

On my previous intervention I stated sudo asks for root passwd. I 
forgot that *this* is how I set sudo in my environment, as well as to 
insult the user (mildly) if the wrong password is entered ;-)

Indeed the default for sudo is to use the user pass (usually admin) for 
only authorized users in /etc/sudoers.

Cheers
