Hi,
I gave it a try, and here's what I received back;
Pirates-Cove:~ paul$ sudo -l
User paul may run the following commands on this host:
(ALL) ALL
(root) NOPASSWD: ALL
Pirates-Cove:~ paul$
If I understand this correctly, it seems to be saying that the
user paul can run all commands, and root may run all commands without
a password. The only thing I don't see is a reference to the print
command.
Paul
