Perhaps wdm would be of interest for you:

In https://wiki.debian.org/sudo it says:
In order for a user to run sudo, the user must belong to group=sudo.
But i see that adding a line in /etc/sudoers can allow me execute sudo
without being in the sudo group.
Do i miss sth or the wiki miss sth?

Thanks all for the usefull feedback.
I was finding many related tutorials from popular searchengines some
using the method to add to the group and others editing /etc/sudoers
I think the remarks made put the issue in the correct perspective and
wiki change is more correct.

Hello,

acts as Firewall/gateway and performs NATing for my internal network -
