I just tried saving it as sudoers rather than as the .tmp file but still it requires a password. Please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here is the file <user is ***>

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification

root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

*** ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges

admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

*** ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command

sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

*** ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

sudoers.tmp is the lock file visudo uses to make sure there aren't multiple edits going on at the same time.

I am trying to add my user to 'sudoers'. After I do I press cntrl-X and it says the file it is going to save is 'sudoers.tmp' . So I save it like that and my user still requires a password. should I not save it as the .tmp file but rather as 'sudoers'. I don't remember it being like that last time I did this!
