sudo sorry try again

[sugar]

Hi, I have a installation of FreeBSD 8.0 in two servers, this behaving is present in both of them: I installed and tried with sudo-1.6.9.20 and sudo-1.7.2p5

in the sudoers file if I add this line it works:

my_user	ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

But I would really to keep it password protected so I am trying this instead:

my_user    ALL=(ALL) PASSWD: ALL

All that I got is: Sorry Try Again output.
I also get this message: 1 incorrect password attempt


Any help will be appreciated

thanks in advance!
Aldo

correct that to

my_user ALL=(ALL) ALL

and "all" will be well

(which is a good lesson on the benefits of leaving the examples commented out in your sudoers file and making entirely new entries when editing)

I also tried that at the beginning, when I was thinking that it would work =(

Re-check /usr/local/etc/sudoers for syntax errors.

When you type sudo followed by the desired command are you typing the my_user password? Remember that's my_user password that you must type and not root's.

Or you could use visudo which does this for you automatically ...
