Thank you Greg.

Your approach is more secure than my current:

bob     ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

which comes out of total lazyness (in my partial excuse we are talking 
about my "single user" laptop :->).

I am wondering if I could parse the logs and see what commands I have 
used sudo for in the last weeks or so ...

Take care,
