[Ubuntu 14.04]

sudo 1.8.9p5 had a bug which caused any rule added to sudoers to be ignored if the user was stated by user id (with the username works just fine).

For instance:

#33 ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

Is ignored, while:

myusername ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

works just fine.

This bug has been fixed in the current stable release of sudo (1.8.10p3) and it would be convenient if the patch could be applied to the current sudo package in Ubuntu 14.04 (sudo1.8.9p5-1ubuntu1 )

You can check the original bug report (and patch) here: http://www.sudo.ws/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=640

Thank you
