Force sudo to re-ask for password?

[humbletech99]

I want to make sudo re-ask me for my password. It caches it for 5 mins I think, but I realise I don't know how to force it to re-ask.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Hi humbletech99 !

in /etc/sudoers file, change

Defaults        !lecture,tty_tickets

to

Defaults        !lecture,tty_tickets,timestamp_timeout=0

Be aware that 'sudo' is very picky about correct syntax in its configuration file and will refuse to work if you make the slightest mistake. you should use the 'visudo' tool to edit the file, rather than opening it directly.
