NOPASSWD - User does not have to enter password
ALL - "ALL" for which this argument applies.

These two arguments are separate... I just removed "NOPASSWD" as my own
personal opinion is that you "avoid at all costs."


To be clear... in my previous example, "ALL" meant "all hosts" and
"run-as all users." Not to confuse you, but "ALL" can just-as-well mean
"ANY" or, in shell terms, "*"
