That doesn't make sense to me for two reasons:
1) Sudo requests the logged-in user's password, not roots. 2) Sudo can be configured to only demand a password if a certain amount of time had passed since the last time it validated the user.
At least that's how it worked on the RHEL systems used at my last job a big company that had strict security policies.
I used the one in openSUSE 10.3 and it has default sudoers: 1) ask root password for admin tasks,
You are supposed to disable that behavior after you have done the initial system configuration. Ie, you install the system, configure it, and then, edit the sudoers file and disable the requesting of root's password. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
