Sudo Password Intermittently Fails?
On my system, I usually use sudo to run wifi-menu ...
Every so often, sudo will fail to recognize my password, no matter how many times I do it.
I've tried logging out (close X, then use the command prompt login) then back in, and then my password is also not recognized and I get a "number of times till lock"
rebooting fixes everything?
No idea even where to start...

Sometimes I seem a bit harsh — don’t get offended too easily!
