If you add your user account to /etc/sudoers, there's no need to be in the sudo group. The configuration in the default /etc/sudoers is this: # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command # (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move # it further down) %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL You can just add the NOPASSWORD directive to that line (which I'd not recommend) if you put the user in the sudo group thusly: # usermod -G sudo -a username My recommendation would be to simply use usermod to add your username to the sudo group and call it done (do not edit /etc/sudoers at all). You'll then get the same behavior that you see in Ubuntu (with the exception that root still has a real password). -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
