Hi list, According to the manual for sudo, the -v command line switch does the following:
"If given the -v (validate) option, sudo will update the user's timestamp, prompting for the user's password if necessary. This extends the sudo timeout for another 5 minutes (or whatever the timeout is set to in sudoers) but does not run a command." On my system (CURRENT/amd64), it is obviously not doing this: $ sudo -K $ sudo -v $ # no output Is this changed behaviour, or is it a bug? The only non-default settings in my sudoers file is "Defaults passwd_timeout = 0", and I haven't used "timestamp_timeout".
