Chris,

That is not by design.

sudo -K should remove the timestamp

sudo

-K The -K (sure kill) option is like -k except that it removes
                   the user's time stamp entirely and may not be used in
                   conjunction with a command or other option.  This option
                   does not require a password.

Gurpreet,
I am not sure if this is a known bug, I was not able to duplicate this on Freebsd 7.2 running sudo 1.6.9p20


Sorry for top-posting, Android won't let me quote, but K-9 can't yet do
threading.

Hi,

Upon doing sudo<some-command>  as a normal user (non-root), sudo asks for
password only once, subsequent invocations of sudo doesn't ask for password
- even though I do sudo -k or sudo -K in between.
Although sudo starts asking for password after the time stamp expiry.

in other words:

% sudo mkdir /newdir
<sudo asks for password authentication, creates the directory after
successful authentication>

% sudo -k

% sudo -K

% sudo mkdir /another_new_dir
<sudo don't ask for password authentication, and creates the directory>

In sudoers file, NOPASSWD is NOT set.
here is my sudeors file: http://pastebin.com/WFnXCLE1

Output of "uname -a":
FreeBSD foo.bar 8.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Jul 19 02:55:53 UTC

Is this known bug? If not, then it might have security implications.
