Perhaps we should change LTIB so that it says, "end of the file" instead of, 
"in the User privilege section".

That worked!

Thank you.

I understand the "normal" behaviour - the change to add
/opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm is allows LTIB to run its rpm as root w/o asking
for a password.  Try moving the line:

build ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm

to the absolute *end* of /etc/sudoers.

As for the "random", that's because sudo doesn't think you have
permission to run LTIB's rpm as root and asks you - and as you
discovered, sudo gives you a window where it won't ask for the password
again (its like a few minutes)...
