[sudo-users] Pivot user for launching sqlplus

Commands run by sudo won't have the shell startup files sourced.
That is something that only happens for a login shell.  You may be
able to achieve what you want by running:

    sudo -u superora -i sqlplus

which will wrap the command in a login shell.  This will
require that you allow the invoking user to run the target
user's shell, though.

For example, assuming superora's shell is /bin/sh, this should work:

User_Alias    SUPERORA = user1, user2
SUPERORA ALL=(superora) /bin/sh -c sqlplus, /bin/sh -c sqlplus *

Hope that helps.
