How to Configure Sudo User Without Password in Linux

In Linux, sudo allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user, typically the superuser. Configuring a sudo user to run commands without entering a password is a common requirement in various scenarios. To achieve this, follow these steps:

1. Open the /etc/sudoers file using the command: sudo visudo
2. Locate the line that looks like: root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
3. Add the following line below it, replacing 'username' with the specific username: username ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
4. Save the file and exit the editor
5. The user 'username' can now run sudo commands without entering a password

It's crucial to exercise caution when configuring sudo users without password requirements to prevent unauthorized access to critical system commands.
