Sorry, maybe I was not clear. I wanted to have the ability to use sudo
without password for the above two commands, but use sudo with password
(required) for everything else.

Will it be enough to type the two commands with a comma separator after
the NOPASSWD: (and instead of the ALL)? I guess I could try this, but
wanted to be sure.
