I use the solution with NOPASSWD:. No problems whatsoever with
Application Manager and/or other apps. I have not removed any of the
default sudoers rules, just added two lines at the end. Here are those
two lines again, for your convenience:
user ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
root ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Security-wise, I see no increased risk from allowing passwordless root
for anyone who has user-level access. All the sensitive data is already
accessible for the user, and it's trivial to install some package
(becomeroot) to get root anyway.
