sudoers

[Michael Havens]

I was wondering: these are the instructions I was given to make it so I
don't need to input my password after I sudo.
---
sudo visudo
<password>

comment out the line:

  %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

and add a new line below it like this:

  %sudo ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD:  ALL

  sudo useradd -G sudo <user>
---
I was thinking that with the script being like that I probably don't need
the last line because the way it is I am telling it no one needs a password
with sudo. It would probably be more secure to have:

  %sudo ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD:  <desired users>

is that correct? If I had multiple users who I wanted to not use a password
would I separate the users with a space or comma? If I only wanted one user
to be able to sudo  it would be:

  %sudo <user>=(ALL)  NOPASSWD:  <user>

what is the point of th ALL surrounded by parentheses?
