Martin, you would be surprised what problems can be caused by your sudoers file,

# User privilege specification

OK, I see now what is different: I had copied my /etc/sudoers from Panther to Tiger, and this has the last line slightly differently:


%admin  ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

This is what I always had, and it is also mentioned analogously in the Fink FAQ#5.9. On Panther this works, on Tiger it doesn't any more.

One really seems to need the additional '(ALL)'. At least one needs it for the weird fink perl tests. I haven't seen any other adverse effects.

Unfortunately, sudoers has by far the worst man page I have ever seen, and it is impossible to see from it whether anything has officially changed between Panther and Tiger. Or perhaps someone with a recent degree in theoretical computer science can see it and explain ;-)
