This has always bugged me, but I've never bothered to ask: If the purpose of 
adding this line is to execute rpm commands as root without a password, why do 
I have to enter a password (almost) every time I run ./ltib?

I'm newbie. How i can do?
thanks
i have this error when i write./ltib:

I ran the command: sudo -S -l which returned:

Matching Defaults entries for giuseppe on this host:
    env_reset

User giuseppe may run the following commands on this host:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, (root) /opt/freescale/ltib/usr/bin/rpm
    (ALL) ALL

This means you don't have sudo permission to execute rpm commands as root
without a password.  This is needed for this build script to operate correctly.

To configure this, as root using the command "/usr/sbin/visudo",
and add the following line in the User privilege section:

giuseppe ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm
Giuseppe, you need to modify /etc/sudoers (run "sudo /usr/sbin/visudo") to 
allow you to run "/opt/ltib/user/bin/rpm" - it shows you can run 
"/opt/freescale/ltib/user/bin/rpm".  Make that change and this error should go 
away...
