It uses tty_tickets but gives the expected behavior w/ the admin. auth. timeout and can be adjusted if wished, up or down, with an appropriate sudoers or /etc/sudoers.d/ edit Also no mouse spin on synaptic or with gksudo nautilus -(in the current natty sudo the mouse spins on for 4 -12 secs Can't see any reason to atm to build the source on natty so am using the latest package from maverick security updates.
