sudo + nopasswd

[inp3dance]

Hi,

In all the distros I used I set up the following line in /etc/sudoers :
user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Now in LMDE I tried this and the following combinations too :

user ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
(Obviously user here replaces my user name.)

But sudo still keeps asking me for the password. What is different in LMDE in this regard? How can I set up a passwordless sudo? ( Here I mean passwordless for my user only ).
Thank you!

No idea, but if a command is not being accepted, I remember to include spaces to separate parts..

Space out the commands, both to make it more readable and to make sure separate commands get separation..

• NOPASSWD
  If you don’t want to be prompted for any password while running sudo then we can use the NOPASSWD parameter on a particular entry:
  admin ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
  this parameter is the opposite of the default PASSWD and will no longer require any password for the user “admin” while running sudo

Try placing the user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL entry at the end of the /etc/sudoers file. Your user name is probably in a group entry {%sudo) which is taking precedence if it is being read last in sudoers.

Thanks glenn4uk,

Your solution fixed mine sudoers.

Thanks glenn4uk,

This still works.

% sudo tail -1 /etc/sudoers
my_user ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
