I just tried saving it as sudoers rather than as the .tmp file but still it
requires a password. Please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is the file <user is ***>

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
***  ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
***  ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
sudo    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
***  ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
