FYI FWIW: The sudo "slide show" available from www.courtesan.com/sudo/
mentions dealing with heterogeneous environments exactly like Todd said above.
There is also a link to the wrapper script which is included below.
Note that wrappers can be written bazillions of way ... so this is just
one example and I don't claim it is neccessarily the "best" way ...
but it works.

BTW, I'm kinda surprised you aren't using wrappers already for other stuff (?)
