Scenario: You just installed your Lunux Server and you are the only person using the server and you want to sudo without having to type your password all the time. This How To will show you one way of accomplishing that task.

This How To assumes you are a member of the sudo group.

1. Check to see if you are a member of the sudo group:
   $ id
   You should see a list of all the groups you are a member of.
2. Edit the /etc/sudoers file:
   $ sudo visudo
   This will open the the /etc/sudoers file with the default editor.
3. There will be a line that looks like this:
   %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
4. Comment out that line and replace it with a line that looks like this:
   %sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
5. Save the file.

You should now be able to sudo without being prompted for your password every time.
