I was wondering: these are the instructions I was given to make it so I don't need to input my password after I sudo. --- sudo visudo comment out the line: %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL and add a new line below it like this: %sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL sudo useradd -G sudo --- I was thinking that with the script being like that I probably don't need the last line because the way it is I am telling it no one needs a password with sudo. It would probably be more secure to have: %sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: is that correct? If I had multiple users who I wanted to not use a password would I separate the users with a space or comma? If I only wanted one user to be able to sudo it would be: %sudo =(ALL) NOPASSWD: what is the point of th ALL surrounded by parentheses? :-)~MIKE~(-:
