When I run synaptic from the xfce menu, it prompts me for a super user
password.  The userid it prompts for is not root though it is nbaardev which is
a recently created userid.  Here is what is in the sudoers file if that makes
any difference:

#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of
# directly modifying this file.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults        env_reset
Defaults        mail_badpass
Defaults
secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
sudo    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
nbaardev ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# See sudoers(5) for more information on "#include" directives:

#includedir /etc/sudoers.d


Is there a problem in the sudoers file or something with this userid or is it a
Synaptic bug?
