edit /etc/sudoers and modify / add

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

P.S. I am totally unconvinced about the arguments for using sudo rather 
than running as root. You can do exactly the same damage with sudo as 
being root user.
P.P.S The conventional instruction is to use visudo to do the edits. 
Which means using Vi, which is another anachronism that should be 
humanely put down.
