I don't know any tools and don't have RHEL6 right now, but if your sudo is compiled with --with-env-editor, you can use any editor with visudo command to change /etc/sudoers. Then the "tool" could be something like this:

Code:
# echo -n "/username/\nd\nw\nq\n" | EDITOR=/bin/ed visudo

and all you need is to run it with at now + 10 days.
You can check, if your sudo compiled with --with-env-editor using the -V switch as root:
Code:
sudo -V

N.B. I didn't test it.

eventstat

EVENTSTAT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      EVENTSTAT(8)

NAME

       eventstat - a tool to measure system events.

SYNOPSIS

       eventstat [-rcsv_file][-nevent_count][delay [count]]

DESCRIPTION

       eventstat is a program that dumps the current active system events.

OPTIONS

       eventstat options are as follow:

       -h     show help

       -n event_count
	      only display the first event_count number of top events.

       -q     run quietly, only really makes sense with -r option.

       -r csv_file
	      output gathered data in a comma separated values file. This can be then imported and graphed using your favourite open source spread
	      sheet.

       -t threshold
	      ignore samples where the event delta per second less than the given threshold

EXAMPLES

       Dump events every second until stopped.
	       sudo eventstat

       Dump the top 20 events every 60 seconds until stopped.
	       sudo eventstat -n 20 60

       Dump events every 10 seconds just 5 times.
	       sudo eventstat 10 5
