I may be misunderstanding; does this imply that one must enable
password-based unlock on the screen in order to have password-based sudo
over adb?  I would not like to have to password unlock my phone for each
use, but would like sudo to work - the two use cases are obviously (to me)
not equivalent.

Cheers,
