Skip Sudo command asking password?

[Tubuntu]

How I can skip sudo command asking password in a script or in a program launchers? Example so k3b would not ask everytime sudo password when i start the program?

I would only like to disable sudo password in my own script and in a couple of programs, so no permanent disable option..

-Thanks

You can also very control sudo to a specific command. So you could have k3b ask for no password, while leaving it for all other programs.

You control sudo through the "sudoers" file. To edit this file, run "sudo visudo".

I haven't tested this, but I think the following would allow all users in the "cdrom" group to run "sudo k3b" without needing a password:

%cdrom    ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/k3b

For more information, see the sudoers man page.

Best thanks to you toojays

Use extreme caution with granting all-trusting sudo access:

1. Any script running under your name can try to sudo to root -- Malicious programs can easily gain root access under your account, if you have passwordless sudo.

2. A program running as root easily allows other programs to be run as root. Don't grant sudo -- even on individual programs -- to all users. It's pretty easy to turn K3b into a text editor, then grant more sudo privs!

This works for me:

sudo visudo

add:

%steffen ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/k3b
%steffen ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/amarok

(note: I am in group 'steffen'. Look in your User and Groups section in Gnome preferences)

hi all,

iv tried to find documentation on re-enabling the sudo password and i couldnt find it out. everything is to vage and link that was posted "http://ubuntuguide.org/#usesudowithoutpasswordprompt" its like the frikin Bible, so i couldnt find what i needed its just too mutch info for this specific subject.

first off, im running gutsy on Gnome not kde, so, for my understanding this is done diferently.

a friend of mine did this in my computer, he told me i wouldnt have to type in the password everytime i run a sudo command, so i let him do that (it was another thing i could learn to) but i dont want my box exposed to this weekness.

Can somebody please leed me to the readings were this is done, or just post the code so i can do it quikly please? i dont feel confortable with this weekness in my box! i think he edited 2 diferent files, cant remember witch ones!

Help!

He probably edited /etc/sudoers. You can edit this yourself by typing

sudo visudo

Look for anywhere that says NOPASSWD and remove those bits or comment them out (put a # in front of them).
