@@ -94,3 +94,16 @@ A) You need to uncomment the rule in Makefile (or Makefile.in)
    by default since sudo comes with a pre-flex'd parse.lex.
    May sure you are using flex version 2.5.2 or higher--the
    lex that came with your OS may not like parse.lex.

+Q) I have a user whose login name is all capital letters or
+   a mix or all capitals and numbers.  When they try to run
+   sudo it says that they are not in the sudoers file but
+   they really are.  What's wrong.
+A) In sudo, a string consisting of all caps and numbers is
+   considered to be an Alias.  Therefore, sudo will never treat
+   it as a username (or a hostname).  There is no way to fix
+   this will the current sudoers syntax.
+
+Q) How keep sudo from asking for a password?
+A) Use the 'NOPASSWD' reserved word right before the command list in
+   sudoers.  See the sudoers man page and sample.sudoers for details.
