Issue
sudo
does not require password authentication for subsequent executions
-
A
sudo
rule explicitly requires an user to supply a password to run any command:bob ALL=(ALL) PASSWD:ALL
-
sudo
asks for password the first time. It does not request the user to authenticate for subsequent access:[bob@server1 ~]$ sudo su - root [sudo] password for bob: [root@server1 ~]# exit logout [bob@server1 ~]$ sudo su - jane [jane@server1 ~]$ exit logout [bob@server1 ~]$ sudo su - root [root@server1 ~]# exit logout [bob@server1 ~]$
-
It is a security requirement that the system must require re-authentication when using the "sudo" command.
