sudo will only allow what you specify "/etc/sudoers". If you only
specify "rajan ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: HIBERNATE", rajan will only be able
to use sudo to run a command in the HIBERNATE command alias. If rajan
wants to use sudo to run other commands (with or without a password),
he needs to add "rajan ALL=(ALL) ALL" to "/etc/sudoers".
