Add description for configuring passwordless sudo to localhost location.

The current Locations page provides information on setting up passwordless SSH
and says that passwordless sudo is required, but does not tell the user how to 
setup.

 If you encounter issues or for more information, see [SSH Keys Localhost 
Setup](ssh-keys.html#localhost-setup). 
 
+If you are normally prompted for a password when executing `sudo` commands, 
passwordless `sudo` must also be enabled.  To enable passwordless `sudo` for 
your account, a line must be added to the system `/etc/sudoers` file.  To edit 
the file, use the `visudo` command:
+{% highlight bash %}
+sudo visudo
+{% endhighlight %}
+Add this line at the bottom of the file, replacing `username` with your own 
user:
+{% highlight bash %}
+username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
+{% endhighlight %}
+If executing the following command does not ask for your password, then `sudo` 
should be setup correctly:
+{% highlight bash %}
+sudo ls
+{% endhighlight %}
