please wrap your posts.

How did you add this line to /etc/sudoers? Did you vi the file directly, or
did you use visudo? I had some confusion myself over /etc/sudoers syntax
until I forced myself to spend about an hour reading sudoers(5) through about
2 or 3 times. It's a long page, but by the time you've read it top to bottom
a few times, you should have an idea of what's going on.
