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.
I hope you are using visudo to edit the /etc/sudoers file. I made the mistake yesterday using vi to do the edit and that will not work.
