Do you want to allow a user to run "cmd1" in *any* directory? That's
the equivalent of letting a user run any command at all and basically
defeats the logging.
Now, if you just want "cmd1" in a specific directory then put
the fully-qualified pathname in sudoers and "sudo ./cmd1" should
work since sudo will fully-qualify the pathname for you.
