sudo: /etc/pam.d/sudo should not contain pam_rootok.so

Description

A PAM-enabled sudo never prompts for a password if /etc/pam.d/sudo contains pam_rootok.so . (This has already been noted at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2007-March/016895.html .) Therefore the sudo instructions should delete any such entry, eg. by adding a /pam_rootok/d command to the sed command that creates /etc/pam.d/sudo .

Confirmed.

Modified the instruction to create the pam.d file correctly.

Thanks for the report, Jeremy
