sudo remembers that you've entered a password for a short period, 5
minutes springs to mind.

Hm. It seems I now *am* asked for a password -- but I managed to do a
mount without password... Odd.

[gentoo-user] sudoers w/wo passwd...

2003-03-03 Thread Magnus Lie Hetland
Hi!

I just uncommented the line

  %wheelALL=(ALL)ALL

in /etc/sudoers (through the visudo command). I assumed that this
would leave the password requirement in place, as opposed to

  %wheelALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD: ALL

However, when I now try to use sudo, I'm not asked for a password --
why can that be? Other than uncommenting the topmost of these two
lines, I haven't modified anything (i.e. no use of "exempt" etc.)

Thanks,

Magnus
