If you have sudo rights with the NOPASSWD option set, then you will not be prompted. An example line from out file reads:-
Code:
SECADMIN ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/mkdir

There may be some resistance to this option though as it means there is no challenge to the command for that user/group.



I hope that this helps,
