[vox-tech] SUDO problem...

[R. Douglas Barbieri]

I *finally* figured this one out. I had the following entry in my
/etc/group file:

sudo:x:27:doug

This makes it so I never have to enter a password *grimace*.

Anyway, I removed myself from this group, logged out and back in again,
and voila! sudo asks me for a password yet again. :-)
