%wheel ALL = NOPASSWD:ALL, !MYLIMIT

Code:
test2 ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD: !/usr/bin/passwd, !/usr/sbin/visudo ALL
#OR#
test2 ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD: ALL, !/usr/bin/passwd, !/usr/sbin/visudo
nothing worked, after all attempts following is result
Code:
[test2@rhel6-server ~]$ sudo su
Last login: Sat Mar 10 17:15:07 IST 2018 on pts/12
[root@rhel6-server test2]# passwd root
Changing password for user root.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
BAD PASSWORD: is too simple
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Please help
