Works just fine for me in Ubuntu. I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. If
it needs you to sign in with a password first, it means that the NOPASSWD part
isn't working. Try "sudo -k" in a terminal followed by "sudo
/usr/sbin/pm-hibernate" in a terminal and see whether it prompts you for your
password.
