Make sudo ask for my password again?

Question

Is there any way to make sudo forget my password instantly instead of remembering it for 5 minutes?

Answer 1

Edit your sudoers file by running visudo as root.

Look for the Defaults line, and add timestamp_timeout=0 to the end.

Eg.

Defaults env_reset,timestamp_timeout=0
