Fedora 29: sudo without password

This article will describe how to omit sudo password. This will enable scripts with sudo be automated.

1 Omit sudo password

The /etc/sudoers is as the following by default. 

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel ALL=(ALL)       ALL

## Same thing without a password
# %wheel  ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

You need to use NOPASSWD for omitting password. Run "sudo visudo" or "sed". This needs sudo password yet. 

$ sudo sed -e 's/^%wheel/#%wheel/g' -e 's/^# %wheel/%wheel/g' \
  -i /etc/sudoers

After reboot, you can run sudo without password.
