It doesn't give an error when saving if I put just this:

%kdedude localhost = NOPASSWD: /usr/X11R6/bin/xcdroast

but when I run it complains saying that kdedude is not in sudoers file, 
tried it without the "%" sign and it complained again.  The only way it 
worked was when I put this in there:

%wheel        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

but I don't want to do that though, I just want to be able to run a few 
commands and not "ALL" commands.
