PASSWD and NOPASSWD

       By default, sudo requires that a user authenticate before running a command.  This behavior can be modified via the NOPASSWD tag.

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
josh    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

So, why am I still being asked for my user password to sudo? I thought adding that line would make it unnecessary.

I do not know whether this is a Devuan issue or it could happen in any distro.

By the way, does this forum not allow punctuation marks or other special characters in the subject line? The reason mine lacks a question mark is only because it won't let me type one there.
