ugh! it failed again!

Code:

my-mnag0:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/visudo
test's password:
test is not allowed to run sudo on my-mnag0.  This incident will be reported.
my-mnag0:~$ date
Fri Dec  2 12:12:24 MYT 2011

Code:

# Host alias specification
Host_Alias    LAN = my-mnag.os.itelligence.com.my
# User alias specification
User_Alias    GHELPDESK = test
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias    SUDO = /usr/bin/visudo
# Defaults specification
Defaults    log_year, logfile=/var/log/sudo.log
# prevent environment variables from influencing programs in an
# unexpected or harmful way (CVE-2005-2959, CVE-2005-4158,
# CVE-2006-0151)
Defaults always_set_home
Defaults env_reset

# In the default (unconfigured) configuration, sudo asks for the root password.
# This allows use of an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly
# installed system. When configuring sudo, delete the two
# following lines:
#Defaults targetpw    # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root
#ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'!

# Runas alias specification
Runas_Alias     ROOT = root
# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
%wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL
%infra ALL=(ALL)        ALL

GHELPDESK LAN = (ROOT) SUDO
# Same thing without a password
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

# Samples
# %users  ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom
#%test  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now

can we try with a different command? (i.e start stop a service such as httpd or something like that)

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
