Sudoers

I've been writing a program for work.  It's almost finished, but I've been stuck trying to solve one problem for a couple of days.  The problem is not being able to run sudo in a shell script as user Nobody.  Nobody is the userid under which the Lampp Apache web servers runs.  After trying various solution, I found my answer here.  Here's the line I need to add to /etc/sudoers-

nobody ALL = NOPASSWD:


My script can now run ssh at system prompt from a cgi page without being prompted for a password or key information. Very cool!!!!!!
