Sudo can be configured to require a password or to never require a password. If this is your machine, then su - to root and type "visudo" and look at the file (/etc/sudoers) yourself. Whoever set sudo up chose to set it up that way.How come whenever I do a 'sudo' command I never have to enter a password? I have tried it several times and it is like I have root access but don't need a root password by just using sudo. I think this could be pretty dangerous. I've never setup sudo before, at least not myself. Could someone help me figure this out?
Sudo can also be setup to only grant you "root" access to *certain* resources. It's up to the admin to make those kinds of decisions.
