Dude, the ball is in your court to prove this, I can't get it to do
anything resembling asking for my password twice. I added the two
options to my sudoers file and look at hte following sequence. Note
that the only time it asks for my password is on the actual execution
of the command, not on the '-l' usage.

dmcgee at galway ~/projects/pacman (master)
$ sudo -l /bin/true
/bin/true

dmcgee at galway ~/projects/pacman (master)
$ sudo /bin/true
Password:

dmcgee at galway ~/projects/pacman (master)
$ sudo /bin/true
Password:

dmcgee at galway ~/projects/pacman (master)
$ sudo -l /bin/true
/bin/true
