Description Brian Burns 2012-01-31 02:56:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
The following line in /etc/sudoers, given as an example, should be commented but is not:
## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sudo-1.8.1p2-2.fc16.i686 (could be others)

How reproducible:
I first noticed this on a new AWS/EC2 instance created from 
AMI: Fedora-16-ec2-20111101-i386-sda (ami-5f16d836)

This also appears on an install from the KDE Spin LiveCD.

Hi,
 this was uncommented on purpose. Please see #656873 or http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/993/why-can-i-use-sudo-even-without-being-mentioned-in
