[Bug 996753] [NEW] entry in sudoers to execute a script without password prompt as root has no effect since 12.04

[themroc]

Public bug reported:

Since many ubuntu releases I execute a script in /usr/local/bin with
sudo without password prompt in this way:

/etc/sudoers:
...

%admin ALL = (ALL) ALL
%admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/script

...

Since Kubuntu 12.04 this entry has no effect any more. It is not
possible to execute /usr/local/bin/script as root without password
prompt.

I have try this entrys too for username at maschine

%username ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/script

username ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/script

%username maschine = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/script

username maschine = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/script

username ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/script

So I think thers is a bug, because nothing works.
