Hi, list! I'm trying to set up passwordless sudo for myself. It's a shiny brand new fresh-installed F16. During first boot I had been asked to create a new user and put him to administrative group. I answered yes and hence my user is able to run commands using sudo. However in /etc/sudoers there's not a mention of my user. I've added the following string to it: hiisi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Apparently it has no effect - I have to enter password each time sudo is invoked for the first time. What the heck and how do I solve this mystery? -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982. Be counted at: http://counter.li.org/ -- Spandex is a privilege, not a right.
When you add yourself or another and add them to the administrators group they become a member of group wheel. Run visudo find the no password line for the wheel group and uncomment it and comment the other one.
