the space is not related, no idea why not working for the OP

see line below, this one works on a machine currently
F16 since it was installed with F9 in summer 2008

[root at buildserver:~]$ cat /etc/sudoers | grep builduser
builduser   ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

on a usual desktop PC with a standard-user it is a VERY bad
idea because any attacker only needs to try "sudo anything"
to get full control over the machine

this should be only used for special accounts on well
secured machines where no foreign code is running
