[PLUG] Graceful sudo recovery

[Paul Heinlein]

I have sudo configured on the servers around our office to send me 
administrative notes when someone invokes sudo without having 
permission to do so.

So I get a message (where YYYYYY is the server name and ZZZZZZ is the 
username):

   YYYYYY: Aug 23 15:41:32 : ZZZZZZ : user NOT in sudoers ;
   TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/ZZZZZZ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/ls

sudo let the user in question that his activity would be recorded and 
reported, so just a few seconds later I get another warning:

   YYYYYY: Aug 23 15:41:46 : ZZZZZZ : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=pts/1 ;
   PWD=/home/ZZZZZZ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/echo Just checking

:-)
