Thank you for your answer, this can be a workaround.
But the problem is another.
As you know, the behaviour of a working box is that there is a "window
time" after the first time a user issues the sudo command, where the
password is required. In this window time, if the user issues another
sudo command, there is no need to enter the password again.
There is a timestampdir (man sudoers) that is /var/db/sudo/ by default,
where some sort of caching is written.

From the man page:
"sudoers uses time stamp files for credential caching.  Once a user has
been authenticated, the time stamp is updated and the user may then use
sudo without a password for a short period of time (5 minutes unless
overridden by the timeout option).  By default, sudoers uses a tty-based
time stamp which means that there is a separate time stamp for each of a
user's login sessions.  The tty_tickets option can be disabled to force
the use of a single time stamp for all of a user's sessions."

I repeat: the same configuration works in a non LX box.


Thank you.
A.
