sudo is passwordless although NOPASSWD option is not set
Hi,
when I run sudo, I am not asked for a password. I do not want his behaviour. I checked the /etc/sudoers file but the NOPASSWD option is commented out.
What else could cause sudo not prompting me for a password?

Specifically "sudo -l", don't (start by) post your complete sudoers.

sudo -l
User xxx may run the following commands on xxx:
(ALL : ALL) ALL
I replaced username and machine name with xxx

Re: sudo is passwordless although NOPASSWD option is not set
So you're not running nopasswd unless you fudged around w/ the pam configuration.
sudo -k
sudo ls # does this ask for the password
pacman -Qikk sudo pam pambaseOffline
