So for you--someone running your own machine--you use keys to login but 
still use a password on sudo? (This is common? Seems part of going to 
keys is to get rid of passwords.)

But if you do not require a password on sudo it means that any program 
you run runs with root privileges if it just bothers to ask for it. 
Kinda the opposite of dropping privileges.
