I recognise this message - it is the message which you get when you run
sudo (sometimes only the first time). The password is usually not needed
if your username is in the sudoers file. The lecture is not given every
time if you have "lecture=once" or "lecture=never" as options at the top
of the file /etc/sudoers.

So - the error message isn't weird, it merely indicates a call to sudo
with a UID which isn't in the sudoers file as not needing to enter their
password.

Cheers,
Dave.
