[sudo-users] %u in command string

Hi all
I just tried to enter a sudoers rule which used the calling username as
a parameter in the command string (using %u). As far as I can see this
isn't supported in the command string, but %u expansion is supported in
other places (like the prompt?).
In particular, the rule was to be: `%group host=(www-data) NOPASSWD:
/usr/bin/htdigest /path/to/.htdigest Realm %u`.
I've since written a wrapper utility to take care of this without sudo,
but is it possible to define a rule that accomplishes what I expect the
above to?
Regards
Benjamin
