That's terrible!  You've enabled anyone to sudo without having to know the
real password.  The whole point of sudo requiring a password is to make sure
that the actual user is present (e.g. didn't walk away from an open
terminal).  By disabling tgt_verify, anyone can spoof a KDC response that
will be seen as valid.
