A lot of the problem here looks like the fact that for a lot of people (including Gustavo, apparently) this last feature is the major reason for using sudo rather than handing out the root password or using some other su-without-passwd mechanism. > It's called a "security model".

I can see how somoene might expect that a program called gnome-sudo might implment the same feature set as sudo (which is not to say that failure to do so is a release critical bug by any strech of the imagination). -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
