sudo passwords



     So I set up sudo to let users run simple commands like mount /dev/fd0 
     /floppy, but it promps for a password... the root password.  This 
     seems to defeat some of the functionality.  I'd like whoever to be 
     able to mount a CDROM with out giving out the root password.
     
     Anyone know anyway to configure sudo to need no password, or a 
     different password?  Or are there any suggestions, like say a Linux 
     equivalent to volcheck, as to how to setup users to mount and unmount 
     floppies and CD's without giving them the ability to unmount, say, the 
     /usr partition?
     
     
     PS, this is Slackware, if it makes a difference.
