If you have the root password, it's the wrong tool for the job.  It's 
designed, AIUI, for people who *don't have* the root password to have 
*limited access* to specific root commands.  It can also be used (as I 
described in a different message) to allow people *limited access* to 
programs that they'd not normally be able to run.  If you have the 
password, there's no reason that I can see to pretend you don't.  In 
fact, in Fedora, you can't even set sudo up so that you can use it 
without using the *root password!*
