[SOLVED] Sudo always says: "Sorry, try again".

Hello, sudo is not working at all. My user is in the wheel group. I uncommented the line in visudo (as said in here \
Just installed arch after leaving for some time. Traced the wiki carefully.

Fixes I've tried:

reinstalling the pambase package
reinstalling sudo
resetting my root password

outputs that might be needed:

[root@benami benami]# sudo -lU benami
User benami may run the following commands on benami:
    (ALL : ALL) ALL

[root@benami benami]# sudo -ll
User root may run the following commands on benami:

Sudoers entry:
    RunAsUsers: ALL
    RunAsGroups: ALL
    Commands:
    ALL

[root@benami benami]# groups benami
wheel benami

If any other log/output is required let me know.

Re: [SOLVED] Sudo always says: "Sorry, try again".

You are using sudo while you are already root. Why? Does sudo work as user? You have this marked as solved. You already noticed that?
