root (or sudo) access delay instead of password
root (or sudo) access delay instead of password
Is there a way to require a user to wait a certain time instead of asking for a password every time he wants to execute a command as root or access the root / or another user account?
You're viewing a single thread.
Do you mean the delay between when you need to re-enter the superuser password?
I found this via an LLM:
To change the delay before needing to re-enter your
sudopassword, follow these steps:-
Open the terminal and run:
sudo visudo -
Locate the line:
Defaults env_reset -
Add the following line below it:
Defaults timestamp_timeout=<time-in-minutes>Replace
<time-in-minutes>with the desired timeout in minutes (e.g.,30for 30 minutes). Setting it to0requires a password every time, while a negative value disables the timeout entirely.
I'm curious, why do people make these comments? If the op wanted an answer from an LLM, they would have asked an LLM...
A modern equivalent of let me google that for you, but a more obnoxious one
"

And did you verify this before posting?
