Comment 1 Peter Vrabec 2007-07-12 03:47:26 EDT

see:
$man sudoers
$man sudo

"If the invoking user is root or if the target user is the same as the 
invoking user, no pass-word is required.  Otherwise, sudo requires that users 
authenticate themselves with a password by default (NOTE: in the default 
configuration this is the user’s password, not the root password)."

use:
#visudo 
to  edit /etc/sudoers
