Not the tightest, I know, as I haven't taken the time to learn the 
syntax, but it's better than always su'ing.  Here's all it is:

# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification

foo	ALL=ALL
bar	ALL=ALL
