Have resolved this here by adding a line to sudoers (actually use a file in /ect/sudoers.d/ instead Defaults !tty_tickets
The issue seems to be the configure option of --with-tty-tickets that was carried forward from sudo 1.7.2 but has a slightly different effect here in 1.7.4 - once the instance is closed the timeout ends Because of no response don't know if this new behavior was the new intention or just one of those things, no big deal, easily 'fixed' for those that wish the old behavior back (in lieu of some other approach Ex. here for those that wish to change in sudoers.d or if desiring to re-build sudo then just change the option in /debian/rules to --without-tty-tickets http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10500211#post10500211 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692391 Title: no timestamp timeout in latest sudo except for current instance -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
