Correct, I do not.

On an ubuntu xenial test virtual machine:

default-ubuntu-1604% sudo -V      
Sudo version 1.8.16
Sudoers policy plugin version 1.8.16
Sudoers file grammar version 45
Sudoers I/O plugin version 1.8.16


Using a very small configuration:
Defaults      passwd_tries=0, passwd_timeout=0
ALL ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: !/bin/cat
%vagrant ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
frank ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/ls


I get:
default-ubuntu-1604% sudo ls; echo $? 
0
default-ubuntu-1604% sudo id; echo $?
1
default-ubuntu-1604% sudo cat; echo $?
Sorry, user frank is not allowed to execute '/bin/cat' as root on
default-ubuntu-1604.
1
