Solution

The correct entry to add to the sudoers file to grant a group called "developers" the ability to run any command as root without a password prompt is:

%developers ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This line means that all users in the 'developers' group can run any command as any user on any host without being prompted for a password.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • %developers: This specifies the group to which the rule applies. The '%' symbol before 'developers' indicates that 'developers' is a group. Without the '%', sudo would interpret 'developers' as a username.

  • ALL=(ALL): The first 'ALL' specifies that this rule applies to all hosts. The '(ALL)' part specifies that the members of the 'developers' group can run commands as any user.

  • NOPASSWD: This tells sudo not to prompt for a password.

  • ALL after NOPASSWD: This specifies that the rule applies to all commands.
