I have this in our Wiki :


    Password Free Sudo


1. Edit /etc/sudoers as root (run: kdesu kate /etc/sudoers)
2. Add the following on a new line "username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" (replace 
username with your login name)
3. Click Save and exit kate. All sudo commands will now run without 
asking for your password.
*WARNING!!! While this does make life easier. it can also be potentially 
dangerous, any malicious code or script could gain root access and cause 
serious kak. USE AT OWN RISK!!!* (

I havn't tested it tho..
