Sudo Passwords Problems

[Glynn Aherne_1]

Hi,

I've just installed Sudo-1.6.6 on my L-class HP-UX 11.0.

I have a line in my sudoers file

%it ALL: ALL

which I think allows the users in group "it" to run any command on any server as root, but the have to enter there password.

The problem I am having is that the user is only prompted for their password the first time they sudo.

Is there anyway they are prompted for their password everytime they sudo.

I have tried

%it ALL=PASSWD:ALL

but to no avail

Thanks,

Glynn.

Try,

User_Alias USERS = bob, john, all users...

USERS = PASSWD: ALL

Give this a try:# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification
User_Alias WHATEVER=%it

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SOMETHING=/etc/Tivoli/, /appl/Tivoli/

Defaults:WHATEVER !authenticate

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
%it ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:SOMETHING

# User alias specification
User_Alias SYSADM = myuser1, myuser2
User_Alias OMNI = myuser1, myuser2

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SU = /usr/bin/su
Cmnd_Alias OMNI = /opt/omni/bin/xomni

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
SYSADM ALL=(ALL) ALL

put the following in your sudoers file to make sudo prompt for passwords every time

Defaults timestamp_timeout=0
