If you add "root_pw" to the "Defaults" line in /etc/sudoers, sudo will
require you to enter the root password instead of the user's password.
This obviously requires you to have set a root password.

I'm not aware of a way to require a second password individual to each
user, rather then a common one (the root password).

Welsh even spell it 'chwisgi', which makes sense after two or three
large ones.
