No, I don't see anything wrong with it. The only downside, I suppose, is if someone else gets their hands on the laptop. But, if that happens, you've got lots more to worry about, anyway, than just someone changing your network settings. ;) I have several commands setup like that in the sudoers file. Example: dennyboy badboybox = NOPASSWD: /sbin/mount,/sbin/umount dennyboy badboybox = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/cdrecord Hope that helps.
