Ok, I have answered my own question.

On solaris which uses pam.conf instead of pam.d/, there was this entry:

sudo auth     required   /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
try_first_pass

On linux, in pam.d, the sudo file had this:

auth     required   pam_unix_auth.so shadow nodelay

I merely appended the try_first_pass command to the end of the above
line, and the second password prompt went away.

My next question is, since both of these entries are pam entries from
OpenPKG, why do we get try_first_pass for Solaris but not for Linux?

Is this something that should be added to the sudo spec file or
something?

Thanks,
Aaron
