Raspberry Pi OS and sudo

Hello:

Article from yesterday's edition of The Register:

-------------------------------------------------------
Raspberry Pi OS ends open-door policy for sudo
Command prefix will require password by default
by Richard Speed

Good idea but not new, PCLinuxOS took this stance many years ago:

Hello:

... normal way on Linux...

Of course.

The pcmagos article made direct reference (~14 years ago) to "The Manner Of The Buntus" which, quite obviously subverted the way to use sudo properly and now RPiOS is catching up.

Best,
