Sorry, user chris may not run sudo on xxx

[Xavier Mertens]

Not fixed with a Host_Alias :(

User_Alias      TECHDESK = vincentb, tshirt, chris
[...]
Host_Alias      XXX = xxx
[...]
TECHDESK        XXX = /bin/vi /usr/local/lib/mail/domains/*

On xxx:

sudo -l gives: "Sorry, user chris may not run sudo on bladnoch."
But, chris can do "sudo /bin/vi /usr/local/lib/mail/domains/file"

????
