[sudo-users] How userA can run userB's script

[Erwin Hom]

HI Russell,

I ran it "sudo -l" under usera.

Got prompted for a password. Entered the root password and
got the following output:

"bash-3.2$ sudo -l
Password:
Sorry, user usera may not run sudo on 146x102."

Is there something to be added to sudoers that will allow usera to run  
sudo?

Thanks,

- Erwin
