Homestead asking for administrator privileges/password
I've installed and destroyed Homestead several times without issue. However, after this last time when calling homestead up it asked me for the admin password. I tried vagrant and homestead to no avail. What should I do to fix this?

This is weird. homestead up is an alias for cd ~/.composer/vendor/laravel/homestead/; vagrant up. When I call these either of these two commands the shortcut or the expanded version I run into the aforementioned issue. However, if I just call vagrant up from the homestead directory, already cding into it, it runs as expected with no issues. I'm baffled.

Hi. I got this too after upgrading Vagrant and Homestead. Then I realised that the prompt is for admin privileges for the host machine.

hi there,
yes u have to attach the lines below at the end of the /etc/sudoers - file
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD = /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/exports
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD = /sbin/nfsd restart
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE = /usr/bin/sed -E -e /*/ d -ibak /etc/exports
%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD, VAGRANT_NFSD, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE
be sure that these lines are at the end of this file ... otherwise it would be overwritten
