Even without using sudo to start a shell, it (by default) remembers that
you've already authenticated recently and you only have to re-enter your

Using sudo:
- Disable the person's account.
- Remove the account from /etc/sudoers and/or the sudo group.
Everyone else with root access is completely unaffected by the
