Cannot sudo or su as hudson on vesta

I am pretty sure I used to be able to do this:

$> sudo su -- hudson
[sudo] password for toulmean:
Sorry, user toulmean is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/su -- hudson' as
root on vesta.apache.org.

I must be missing something ?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

Antoine

I don't think you want a double dash in there as that will have you
try sudoing to root, which you can not. A single dash is probably what
you want.
