Hi, list!
I'm trying to set up passwordless sudo for myself. It's a shiny brand
new fresh-installed F16. During first boot I had been asked to create
a new user and put him to administrative group. I answered yes and
hence my user is able to run commands using sudo. However in
/etc/sudoers there's not a mention of my user. I've added the
following string to it:
hiisi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Apparently it has no effect - I have to enter password each time sudo
is invoked for the first time.
What the heck and how do I solve this mystery?

where have you defined it and are this really TABs?
the following works since years on my build-machines to call "rpmbuild"
batch-scripts as builduser followed by a "yum localupdate" before the
next package is built to make sure that it uses the libraries from before
hopefully this is not broken in F16
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
builduser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Try taking out the space after NOPASSWD:

Make sure you are using visudo to edit sudoers file.

## This file must be edited with the 'visudo' command.

Yes it does. It has something to do with proper format which is ensured by visudo but not vi.

I used to do it both ways. This time I did it by 'visudo'.

When you add yourself or another and add them to the administrators
group they become a member of group wheel. Run visudo find the no
password line for the wheel group and uncomment it and comment the other
one.
