Description Michael Kelly 2003-04-30 06:52:59 MDT 
My /etc/sudoers file contains the lines
Cmnd_Alias LSOFU=/usr/local/bin/lsof -i -n -P -u"^root\,^oracle\,^www\,^sniff"
%dci_asl_dev  ALL=NOPASSWD: LSOFU

sudo -l reports
You may run the following commands on this host:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/lsof -i -n -P -u"^root,^oracle,^www,^sniff"

but when I try to run
sudo /usr/local/bin/lsof -i -n -P -u"^root,^oracle,^www,^sniff"

I get
Password:
Sorry, user mkelly is not allowed to execute "/usr/local/bin/lsof -i -n -P -
u^root,^oracle,^www,^sniff" as root on **************.

If I change the command to just "/usr/local/bin/lsof -i -n -P" it works OK.

Looks like your shell is eating the double quotes, try escaping them with a
backslash.
