  I can su, but I can't run some scripts; /etc/sudoers contains...

waltdnes  d531 = (root) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

...and it has worked for years on another machine (with d531 changed to
d530).  But on this machine...

[d531][waltdnes][~] /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: must be root to run init scripts

other commands in /etc/sudoers end up asking for my password,
notwithstanding the NOPASSWD: flag, and after entering password I get...

Sorry, user waltdnes is not allowed to execute <whatever> as root on d531

To answer the the obvious questions people will ask...

[d531][waltdnes][~] hostname
d531

and yes, I am a member of wheel.
