In your comment further down you said that this broke. Why do you think so? The -k actually worked, since in the next sudo command you had to enter your password again: > # hostname foobar > $ sudo -k > $ sudo true > [sudo] password for asmoore: I advise you to test sudo with something that gives visual feedback about whether it worked or not (which is not the case with 'true' and -k). I recommend "sudo id" and verifying that you get output adequate for root (user id 0).
