(quoting rassehund) "Just find sudoers in your system
and add there rights to NOBODY."

This is, of course, a MAJOR security risk. You don't need
sudo if you use it like that, you might just as well change
permissions for all commands and paths.

For remote server administration, if I don't use ssh, I
would let root run cronjobs that look at configuration
parameters which were set using a web interface, preferrably
using a database (for comfort) and input checks (for
security). The logging/status/statistical information that
the cronjobs produce are also made available via a web
interface.

That way, you don't have to perforate your security
mechanisms. And one more personal opinion: sudo isn't that
safe anyway: ever tried "sudo bash" or
"sudo vi"? I would avoid using it, if you get
groups and permissions right, you are not going to need it.
