Well I think I have it, and it probably interests me more than you, but I'm
posting it anyway:

daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ ls -l /etc/sudoers.d
total 8
-r--r----- 1 root root   0 Sep  4 12:51 mythtv
-r--r----- 1 root root 752 Sep  4 12:14 README
-r--r----- 1 root root 814 Aug 31 11:30 README~
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv
visudo: /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv.tmp unchanged
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv
%mythtv ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$

The level of accomplishment that a student achieves is a direct reflection

Yann, and the entire list,
