Thanks all. I think you may have identified it, as my sudoers includes
%users ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL

The computer had been rebooted, which answered this one.
sudo -l gives
env_reset
User oclarke may run the following commands on this host:
(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
(ALL) ALL
grep pm-suspend /etc/sudoers gives:-
%users ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend.
As for "which pm-suspend" I'd already checked that. It's
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
# grep sudo /var/log/auth.log
is not useful - nothing seems to have been written (I'm writing this at
19:06 and the last entry is 10:01)
So I guess my next step is to swap the 2 lines in sudoers and log in again?
Thanks to the 3 of you - excuse the bittiness of this post.
