Sorry, I posted to the wrong list. My intention was to post to the user
list,
but gmail auto completed the address, and I did not pay attention.

I fixed my problem, but I do not know why the first rule just gives an
unrestricted
access (all vboxusers can run any command as root),
while the second one works the way I wanted. They look the same to me:

------

%vboxusers ALL=/home/roma/bin/brup2.sh, /home/roma/bin/brdown.sh, NOPASSWD:
ALL

------

## Allows members of the vboxusers group to set some network parameters
Cmnd_Alias   VBOXCMD =  /home/roma/bin/brup2.sh, /home/roma/bin/brdown.sh
Runas_Alias  VBOXCMD = root
%vboxusers ALL=NOPASSWD: VBOXCMD
