Hi there,
	for a while I used sudo 1.4 on 2.1.5 without problems; however, at
some point it began behaving strangely.  When I run it, I get the little
admonition it gives (I *hate* that) and then a password prompt and then
the shell prompt again.  That is, it never reads a password from me;  it
terminates immediately.  No message is sent to root nor do any messages 
appear on the console.  I have tried reinstalling both from ports and 
from packages, to no avail.  Any guesses?
