Alfie, I did get the problem fixed. I had to put a % in front of sudo in
the line sudo=(ALL) ALL, and changed the line for the admin group to be for
the adm group. I wonder why there was a line for admin, when Kubuntu as
set up on this machine didn't have an admin group at all?
I would still appreciate it if you could email me a copy of the pristine
Kubuntu sudoers file. I'd like to see how it's different from what I ended
up with. It seems attachments get stripped off, so maybe you could send it
to nels dot tomlinson at gmail dot com.
Thanks!
