Always Sudo Privileges

Does this work for you?

sudo EDITOR=gedit visudo

Change this line:

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

to this line:

%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

No lectures. :)

You don't. Two things you can do are:

1) Run sudo -s to stay root when you plan on entering multiple commands and don't want to keep prefixing them with sudo.

2) You can configure your sudoers file to allow you to run sudo without having to enter your password.

I don't see how hard it is to run sudo -i once in a terminal, and then just use this one terminal (or you could open more than one, but then you would have to type your password again) to do all your sudo stuff.

(And no, I can't really see the big problem in typing your password once in a while. It's really not that time consuming, and unless you close your terminal after each command, sudo will not ask for your pass for a while after you have authenticated).
