incorrect, ubuntu (at least when installed hoary) creates a sudoers file
with the following line:
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
So all you need to do is
$ sudo adduser otherguy admin
(or use the users and groups administration tool)
and 'otherguy' will be able to sudo when next he logs in.
