Description tuxce.net 2011-03-06 09:27:22 MST

When a user is not listed in sudoers, "sudo -n" prompts for a password.

tuxce ~  $ sudo -k; sudo -nl

User tuxce may run the following commands on this host:
    (ALL) ALL
    (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/hidd


And with another user:
test ~  $ sudo -k; sudo -nl
Mot de passe : 
Sorry, user test may not run sudo on cfuzp.
