I would like user a to run be allowed to run all commands as user b. Unfortunately adding a ALL=(b) NOPASSWD: / to /etc/sudoers via visudo just yields into syntax errors.

How can I fix this?

Try

a ALL=(b) NOPASSWD: ALL

A can, on ALL hosts, as user B, without needing to enter a password, run ALL commands

Close... The syntax is correct, but the actual meaning is: A can run the following commands on host "ALL(1)" as user B. The commands are "ALL(2)" with no password. – Majenko Apr 9 '11 at 15:28
