i have DSL in a USB flash and i'm using the default booting and automounting without instaling it to the pen drive. Also i have changed the passwd for dsl and root and saved in the backup now when i use "sudo su" or any comand with sudo it doesn't ask me for a password, then i looked in the sudoers file and i see that it has a NOPASSWD tag. Then i think the problem is with this tag, but after putting "dsl    ALL = ALL " like in sudoers manual say, then again when i use "sudo su" it doesn't ask me for any password, i want it to prompt me for a password. :(

PS: i already backup up the password file and i know that the users have password set.

Any help will be apreciated and sorry for the bad english again :p

Did you also back up /etc/sudoers?

I've never quite understood the syntax of sudoers, but you might try this instead:
dsl ALL=(ALL) ALL
and maybe remove the knoppix line, since it doesn't really apply to anything anymore.
