Hi
Since I have upgraded sudo from version 1.7.2.4 to version 1.7.4.4, I can not get the NOPASSWD tag to funktion on individuel users:

This work without password-prompt:
harvest     ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:   <command>

This requires a password:
This work without password-prompt:
harvest      ALL=(test-user) NOPASSWD:    <command>

I am running AIX 5300-11-02-1007

I use this in an application, which have to switch user, and then we use the NOPASSWD: tag.

Best regards
Jan Oldrup

I've been unable to replicate this problem.  Are you running "sudo -u test-user <command>" or just "sudo <command>" ?  If you leave out the -u I would expect sudo to prompt for a password and then give a permission denied error.
