Getting sudo to demand a password?
sudo is not asking me for a password at all. I thought it was supposed to do this by default, but even adding “authenticate” to the sudoers file has no effect. In fact, there is not even a
/var/run/sudo directory on my machine.
My sudoers file (included below) is very simple, and I don't know where else to look. Am I missing another configuration file somewhere?
UPDATE: Thanks, everyone! The issue was that Debian has a special "sudo" group, which disables the password requirement for its members. Where this is configured is something I haven't figured out yet.
