I finally figured it out later. What I eneded up having to do is place the NOPASSWD line AFTER the password required line, like: # members of the FULLACCESS User_Alias may run anything but need a password FULLACCESS ALL=(ALL) ALL # members of the FULLACCESS User_Alias may run chown and chmod without a password FULLACCESS ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/chown, /bin/chmod I found something somewhere, don't remember where though, that stated that sudoers worked down the entire file, and the following line would overwrite the access, thus requiring a password when the line were switched. Another thing that got me for a little bit, when using visudo to edit the sudoers file, it is actually just editing a tmp file, so to completely write your changes to /etc/sudoers, you have to actually quit visudo, just like when editing cron.
