I believe I accidentally found the root of the problem.

I had my user on the sudoers file to NOT ask for the password for
anything:

username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Apparently the fact that it required no password was what was making it
choke.

I tested it by reseting the sudoers file to the default state:

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

after rebooting to make sure everything was fine, and after that it
worked perfectly.

rapache asks twice for password and hangs

Status in rapache: New

Bug description:
When run without strace (log attached) when I perform an operation (restart, 
stop, enable or disable module) it doesn't recognize the password the first 
time around.

It then asks again for the password and it works.

Any subsequent operation will hang rapache and lock the screen after a failed 
password check. I have to switch to console and kill it by hand to regain 
control.

When run with strace it doesn't hang, but it doesn't seem to do anything 
either. It asks for the password only once, but it doesn't perform the 
requested operation.

The attached strace log contains the following operations:

1 open
2 try to restart + password prompt
3 try to stop + password prompt
4 exit
