Hi list,
According to the manual for sudo, the -v command line switch does the following:
"If given the -v (validate) option, sudo will update the user's
timestamp, prompting for the user's password if necessary. This
extends the sudo timeout for another 5 minutes (or whatever the
timeout is set to in sudoers) but does not run a command."
On my system (CURRENT/amd64), it is obviously not doing this:
$ sudo -K
$ sudo -v
$ # no output
Is this changed behaviour, or is it a bug?
The only non-default settings in my sudoers file is "Defaults
passwd_timeout = 0", and I haven't used "timestamp_timeout".
If so you should not be able to run sudo other than as root.
My guess is that you have the following uncommented:
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SETENV: ALL
/Alexander
