sudo operates differently on two comps using arch.

I have two different computers running arch.
On one when I sudo I have to enter a password.
On the other when I sudo I don't have to enter the password.
Can anyone explain what I did that has produced this different behavior?
I'm guessing it has to do with either visudo or wheel when I set up the user.
Thanks in advance.

Just compare the /etc/sudoers files between the two computers.

This.

Are the /etc/sudoers files identical?

Presumably on one computer you have one of these lines uncommented and the other uncommented on the second.

In /etc/sudoers:

## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

## Same thing without a password
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
