                          [Minikube specifies](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/podman/#known-issues) ,

> Podman requirements passwordless running of sudo. If you run into an error about sudo, do the following:

They suggest adding 

    username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/podman

However, this must be very insecure as now you could do,

    sudo podman run -ti -v /etc/shadow:/etc/shadow:rw alpine:3 /bin/sh

And not have to authenticate.

Why is this requirement in place? Is there an alternative?
