Use "visudo" to edit the sudo configuration file.

You can do A LOT with sudo, on the minimal side you can add yourself so 
you can run programs as root with no password authorization if you so 
desire.

example:  >sudo <name of program>

Whether this is secure enough method for you, depends on your 
circumstances as always. I would imagine so with what you mentioned.
