[sudo-users] Assistance requested with recent upgrade from 1.6.8 to 1.7.2

[Mike Dunne]

Greetings,

Here is the complete output of sudo -l:

sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for repl on this host:
    !set_logname, syslog=auth, !umask

User repl may run the following commands on this host:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/lib/repl/netreg-repl.sh, (root) REPLB, (root) LS,
    (root) /usr/bin/rsync

The reference to /usr/local/ is the script that I referenced earlier.

Thanks again for your help. 

Regards, 

Mike
