Giving a single script root with out a password

[beastrace91]

I have a script I have to run to make my 3g modem work how ever it needs root privileges to run properly. Is there a way I can allow this script to run in root with out prompting the user to give a password? I have people that use my netbook who need to turn on the 3g but who don't need my root password.

sudo visudo

add:
%users ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/script

you still have to use sudo, but it won't ask for a password.
example:
sudo script

Just remind the dangers of doing this, there is nothing more dangerous then passwordless systems.

he said script, not system, he does not want to share the password.

Thank you much Kerry, worked like a charm.

It looks like I spoke too soon... Here is my sudo visudo file:

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
%user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/jeff/.flipflop.sh

And here is my command I am running:

sudo /home/jeff/.flipflop.sh

How ever when it pops up a terminal to run the script it still asks me to enter a root password :/ Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
