Title:
  Cannot disable password authentication for sudo

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  Hello,

  I added myself to the sudo group:
     sudo usermod -a -G sudo myusername
  then used 'visudo' to modify /etc/sudoers according to the instructions in the comments
  (i.e. uncommented %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL line)

  then logged out and logged in again. But 'sudo' keeps asking for
  password.

  my karmic was installed from mini.iso image.

  $ sb_release -rd
