The current sudo sources in cvs allow something similar to this
via the -l option. E.g.
xerxes [~] % sudo -l shutdown
/sbin/shutdown
If the user is not allowed to run the command noting is printed.
The exit value is 0 if allowed and 1 if not allowed.
However, this does still require a password for sudo -l unless
the sudoers file contains a line like:
Defaults listpw=never
I'm hesitant to relax the password rules since it could cause
problems when you don't have good physical security (open labs,
etc).
