Dunno why where the other syntax came from.
Well, it's fixed now.

In Fink FAQ#5.10 "I'm tired of typing my password into sudo again and
again. Is there a way around this?" it is said to put the line
username ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
into the sudoers file. This was correct up to and including Panther, but
has not worked since Tiger (= MacOSX 10.4). The right syntax

Actually, /sw/fink/dists should be a symbolic link to whatever
distribution is currently active (i.e /sw/fink/10.3 on your system, but
it could be /sw/fink/10.2-gcc3.3 for someone else). This way the
instructions are general, and we don't have to change every time a new
distribution comes out.

How about this to go after the existing section 3 in the Quick Start:
After doing this, check whether you have a file called .tcshrc in your
home directory using
ls -a ~/.tcshrc
If you do, then you'll want to open it using "pico .tcshrc". Add the
following line to it:

So I think it would be good to at least have a FAQ entry that explains
the reasons for this (legal issues), and how to work around it
(installing the missing package(s) from source).
