Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p5-1
Severity: normal

sudo is configured with '--with-exempt=sudo' by default. This results in
behaviour that is not documented in the manpage (only in
/usr/share/doc/sudo/OPTIONS).

Everyone in the sudo group can run sudo without entering a password. Using
the PASSWD option for the sudo group in /etc/sudoers doesn't change this
behaviour.

Wouldn't it be more obvious to put "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" into
/etc/sudoers instead, in order to achieve the same default behaviour (if
really desired and/or needed). Perhaps make it a default entry in
/etc/sudoers, or a commented example entry?

Cheers,
Thierry
