I was wondering how you all solve the issue of being prompted for sudo

sudoers file and I also do not want to send any plain text passwords.
So, I was wondering if you all could point me ot a starting point?

It sounds like you want to run commands that require elevated privileges without either supplying a password at runtime or hardcoding it or editing the sudoers file to not require a password. 

AFAIK, can't be done. (This has very little to do with Fabric though.)
