How does sudo hurt security?  Is it because it can allow a user to become 
root without a password?  That does seem like a bad idea for several 
reasons that I will not go into.  My question:  Is it possible to 
configure sudo so that a password is always required?  That would be my 
preferred way of using it.  It would be best for me if different users 
could have different passwords for accessing root permissions.  Does sudo 
allow that?
