How does Linux system behave when I am not sudoer?
Here is what happens if I try to use sudo:
server:/tmp>$ sudo cal
[sudo] password for user:
Sorry, try again.
Is it possible that I just don't know my password or does this mean that I am not sudoer? (On another machine system printed out that I'm no sudoer and the incident will be reported)

To know whether a particular user is having sudo access or not, we can use
-l
and-U
options together.For example,
If the user has sudo access, it will print the level of sudo access for that particular user.
If the user don't have sudo access, it will print that user is not allowed to run sudo on localhost.
