Package: sudo
Version: 1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.2
Severity: important
on debian 6.0.1, sudoedit(8) seems to clear the "you have entered your password
more recently than $timestamp_timeout" ticket. it does honour existing
tickets, but it seems to unconditionally clear them upon exit.
example, executing all the following with less than $timestamp_timeout between
commands:
# sudo -l
<get prompted for password>
# sudo -l
<don't have to enter password>
# sudo -l
<still don't have to enter password>
# sudoedit somefile
<still don't have to enter password>
# sudo -l
<get prompted for password>
i tried this on two different 6.0.1 systems with the same results.
also tried on a 5.0.8 system for control (same sudoers(5) file as 6.0.1)
and sudoedit(8) does not clear the password as reported here.
/etc/sudoers.d is not "includedir"ed in our config.

I cannot reproduce this bug with the sudo currently in unstable, so I'm going
to close this bug with no further action taken.
