I run a 5.0 machine, and after installing all of the errata, and sudo, I
found that visudo (/etc/sudoers editor) runs as expected now.
Here's what my /etc/sudoers file looks like:
-- begin /etc/sudoers --
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN=/sbin/shutdown,/sbin/halt
Cmnd_Alias PPP=/usr/local/sbin/ppp-off,/usr/local/sbin/ppp-on
Cmnd_Alias USER=/usr/sbin/useradd,/usr/sbin/userdel,/usr/sbin/usermod
Cmnd_Alias GROUP=/usr/sbin/groupadd,/usr/sbin/groupdel \
/usr/sbin/groupmod
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
leek ALL=NOPASSWD:SHUTDOWN,NOPASSWD:PPP,NOPASSWD:USER, \
NOPASSWD:GROUP
-- end /etc/sudoers --
...as you can see, I don't have to log in as root (or even type in root's
password) to do routine stuff like firing up my ppp-on script, adding users,
etc.
Holler if you'd like more details....
