/etc/sudoers is not usually world-readable. The way to do it would be with `sudo -l`, but this requires the user's password, and we'd have to parse any fine-grained security options.
I think you misunderstood what I'm saying. We don't check /etc/sudoers for the user's configuration. If the user is not in /etc/sudoers and the user runs sudo, the sudo program complains that the user is not in the configuration and asks for the root password. -- James Hawkins
