Hence why I said I wouldn't recommend it. For my own user (as in myself) I have it like that, but not without password. Without password I would only allow for very limited access. If my account would get hacked I wouldn't really like it to be to easy to gain root access. And 'sudo su -' is a wee bit overstated.. try 'sudo bash' or equivelent and you have a rootshell. If you have ALL = (ALL) that is.
