+If you don't want to type your password on every `vagrant up`, Vagrant
+uses thoughtfully crafted commands to make fine-grained sudoers modifications
+possible to avoid entering your password.
+
+Below, we have a couple example sudoers entries. Note that you may
+have to modify them _slightly_ on certain hosts because the way Vagrant
+modifies `/etc/exports` changes a bit from OS to OS.
+
+For OS X, sudoers should have this entry:
+
+```
+Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD = /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/exports
+Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD = /sbin/nfsd restart
+Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE = /usr/bin/sed -E -e /*/ d -ibak /etc/exports
+%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD, VAGRANT_NFSD, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE

+
+For Linux, sudoers should look like this:
+
+```
+Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD = /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/exports
+Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_CHECK = /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status
