"man sudoers" says:
Default_Type ::= 'Defaults' |
'Defaults' '@' Host |
'Defaults' ':' User |
'Defaults' '>' RunasUser
examples:
Defaults syslog=auth
Defaults>root !set_logname
Defaults:FULLTIMERS !lecture
Defaults:millert !authenticate
Defaults at SERVERS log_year, logfile=/var/log/sudo.log
also:
rootpw - if set, sudo will prompt for the root password instead of the
password of the invoking user. This flag is off by default.
So, if you want, for example, guest to enter root's password when
running sudo use the following line:
Defaults:guest rootpw
