Hello,
I tried to configure sudo on my Debian based GNU/Linux such that I have to enter
my password for executing commands as another user (using sudo of course).
So I added this line to my /etc/sudoers file (using visudo):
fendres ALL=(ALL) ALL
The only other non-comment line in the sudoers file is:
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
However, being logged in as fendres I am not prompted for any password when
using sudo. I also tried to change the sudo entry to:
fendres ALL=PASSWD: ALL
which did not help either.
The sudo version is 1.6.8p7

Sudo will let you run other commands without entering a password if you ran a sudo command 
within the past 5 minutes by default.  If that is not the case here then it could be a PAM 
configuration problem.
