the new behaviour is actually the whole POINT of sudo: enabling certain users to run commands as root (or other users) WITHOUT having to tell them the password for the target account - which would also enable them to just do "su -" and do ANYTHING as the other account.
in short: "TargetPW" is actually contrary to the intent and purpose of sudo - and on all my machines one of the first to go.
In that case the update should have come with a notice somewhere to tell people how they should configure sudoers _before_ the update. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
