HI,
I have been using ubuntu for a while and have come to like sudo.
Now I am moving over to gentoo and would like to set this up as for me
it is far more convenient to just type sudo rather than the su business.
However when I emerge sudo, install and run it the following comes up
with:
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

Which is all very good but I don’t really want to see it every time, I
have searched on how to remove it but have found nothing, I did
download sudo tar and do a grep and found it in one of the c files but
as I am not a programmer I don’t know if I can simply remove this or not.
How can I, when I sudo,:
1.get rid of all the text
2.change the password line to something, dare I say it, like ubuntu,
e.g. [sudo] password for paul, I assume paul is just a $USER
Cheers

Look at /etc/sudoers It is very well documented.
I have a line like
# Same thing without a password
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
which mean sthat anyone in the wheel group can use sudo as you want.
