multi-user solution

Does anybody know how to setup a classic UNIX style root and user
account system. I love ubuntu, but this 'sudo' stuff has got to go.

I've set up multiple user accounts on my system, but in order for them
to 'sudo' I'll have to add their accounts to the sudoers file. I created
a root account, but I can't 'sudo' or 'gksudo' from the user accounts
with the root password, or any password for that matter. 

If I add the new accounts to the 'sudoers' file, I'll effectively have
multiple passwords to access the super-user account. Doing this just
doesn't feel right. 

I understand having the 'sudo' set up this way for the windows migrants
to get adjusted; which seems fine, but there should be a way for us UNIX
weenies to have our way too ;)
