That's just how sudo works tho' right? You can configure sudo to not
require a password for certain commands run by certain users. Not sure
how it works on the mac as there may be some kind of wrapper but I'm
sure there would be a way to allow your user to not enter a password for
loading xampp.... It's a mac. It's like *nix. It's tweakable ;)
