[Solved] Sudo: use admin password instead of user password?

Sudo's default behavior is to ask you for your user password when you initiate a sudo command.

How would you modify sudo so that it asks for the admin password instead?

man sudoers

You would consult the excellent Arch wiki:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su

Please refrain from opening new threads when the answers have been provided for you and would be obvious with just the smallest effort on your own part.

Thank you. You're right, i should've googled. I skipped my thoughts for some reason! I normally google everything first! I guess I really like the forums and interacting.
