           Summary: gksudo ignores NOPASSWD
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gksu
        AssignedTo: michael.vogt at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: ivoks at grad.hr

gksudo ignoers NOPASSWD instruction in sudoers.

How to reproduce:

Via visudo add line on the end of sudoers:

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/fetchnews, /usr/sbin/wifi-radar,
/any/other/app

Open terminal and run sudo /usr/sbin/fetchnews or /usr/sbin/wifi-radar or
/any/other/app. It will work without asking password. Same thing with gksudo
asks for password. To reproduce a bug, you need fresh window manager login
cause, if you allready entered password via gksudo, it will not ask you again
after re-login (possible bug?).
