I think William Hooper has explained that sudo will look through the
conf file and use the line that matches. So it is quite possible that
the line with %wheel comes after the line with your user name, so the
conf for wheel (which default to password needed) takes precedence.

To fix your issue, you probably should move the line with your user name
below the line with %wheel. However, if you have enabled wheel group,
uncomment the line containing '%wheel ... NOPASSWD' might also be OK.
No need to add an additional line.


That's true. However, as I've explained, that line is commented out while I'm debugging the issue with the username. I suppose, push comes to shove that I can use an empty sudoers file except for that one line in order to make absolutely certain nothing else is interfering, but since Aaron Konstam verified that is /should/ work as I have it (as well as others) I don't think I need to go that drastic.

The one thing I haven't done is post my entire sudoers file. I will if anyone thinks it'll help.

I'm really not trying to be difficult here, but this is driving me nuts.
