[sudo-users] sudo doesn't prompt for password before failing

Thanks Todd.  You nailed it.

The problem was when I used rpm to remove the initial install of sudo.
That removed the /etc/pam.d/sudo file.

You do not have PAM setup correctly for sudo.  If you do not have
an /etc/pam.d/sudo file, copy the sample.pam file included with
the sudo distribution to /etc/pam.d/sudo.
