My sudoers setting is not working

Question

I tried to use visudo to edit the sudoers setting, and I added a line for my account below the root, here is how I do it

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/apt-get update,/usr/bin/apt-get dist-upgrade,/usr/bin/apt-get autoclean

But it just doesn't work!

I found that I have to put this line at the end..... I haven't had this problem when I was using openSUSE..

Or you could have just added the user to sudo group by executing sudo usermod -aG sudo <username>.
