What about the other users?

Then modify just the users name... and try again...

P.S.
I saw a case with Two version of sudo intalled, meaning 2 sudoers files, not in the same places... depending which sudo you used, you had the same message as you...

Forgot: The first thing you are to test as user is NOT sudo su - but sudo -l

Using visudo, I removed the new line and copied an existing one, changing only the username.
No change.

[newuser@zwork ~]$ sudo -l
[sudo] password for newuser:
Sorry, user newuser may not run sudo on zwork.
[newuser@zwork ~]$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for newuser:
newuser is not in the sudoers file.

Interesting idea - Two version of sudo intalled, meaning 2 sudoers files, not in the same places.
I will contact someone here and see if that could be the case...
