sudo wildcards problem: for every argument a *-wildcard? Better solution?

Hi

I allow the user tommy to run this command as root

sudoCommand: /app/appname/connectors/*/*/current/bin/*

With "sudo -l" he sees the sudoers, but is unable to execute.

$ sudo /app/appname/connectors/zur/namename/current/bin/othername agentsvc --i --u root --sn 1m7command
Sorry, user tommy is not allowed to execute '/app/appname/connectors/zur/namename/current/bin/othername agentsvc --i --u root --sn 1m7command' as root on testcentbox07.

I guess because of wildcard arguments. Does every argument needs a *-wildcard? Howto do when I don't know the number of arguments?

What have you in sudoers files?
I suppose you would need something like:

/app/appname/connectors/*/*/current/bin/* *

So that it accept all arguments...

Sudoers is in LDAP. See sudoCommand in original posting

Sudoers LDAP Manual

works only with one argument. Doesn't work.
