Allowing a user to use sudo without a password

From man sudoers:

   NOPASSWD and PASSWD

   By default, sudo requires that a user authenticate him or herself
   before running a command.  This behavior can be modified via the
   NOPASSWD tag.  Like a Runas_Spec, the NOPASSWD tag sets a default for
   the commands that follow it in the Cmnd_Spec_List.  Conversely, the
   PASSWD tag can be used to reverse things.  For example:

    ray  rushmore = NOPASSWD: /bin/kill, /bin/ls, /usr/bin/lprm

   would allow the user ray to run /bin/kill, /bin/ls, and /usr/bin/lprm
   as root on the machine rushmore without authenticating himself.

One other tag is ALL, to allow the user ray to run any command on any host without password you can use:

ray ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL
