I am pinging the FAQ guru, because this (on Tiger) faulty line is actually mentioned in the FAQ#5.9. We need to change this and perhaps add another one, perhaps in the neighborhood of #5.28.

Unfortunately, the sudoers documentation is completely incomprehensible for humans, so it is impossible to find out what exactly has changed. The problem and its solution have appeared on the fink-devel list a while ago.

Do you perhaps have a line

%admin  ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

in your /etc/sudoers file? The syntax for this appears to have changed in Tiger; the corresponding line must now look like this:

%admin  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL


Yes, it was that.
Many thanks !
