freebsd stable - Aug 2006 - sudo

Hello list,

 

I have noticed that since upgrading to FreeBSD 6 STABLE that sudo is
behaving funny.  For example, sudo seems to be remembering passwords.  So,
sudo seems not to be obeying its 5 minute password timeout.  Has anyone else
experienced this?  Even after logging off and back on again, I can use sudo
without it prompting me for a password.  I know I am preaching to the choir
when I say this is dangerous.  How can I remedy the behavior?  I have even
placed the following line in my sudoers file and it had no effect:

 

meschwartz       ALL=(ALL) PASSWD: ALL

 

Some insight would be helpful.  If this is the wrong list, I apologize in
advance.

 

 

Thanks,

Matt

AFAIK it has always been that sudo still works if you log out and back 
in. But I never experienced that sudo doesn't obey the five minute 
timeout on passwords, and I'm running 6-STABLE on 3 machines.

I just have this in my sudoers file, which doesn't give me any problems.

%wheel        ALL=(ALL)       ALL
