I'd like to configure a password timeout directive /etc/sudoers. Can this be accomplished, how? Essentially I want my box here at work to prompt me for a pw when I use sudo, but I dont want to have to enter it every time, maybe once every ten minutes or something. Anyone know how to get this done? Ive googled a bit but havent found the answer. TIA

would make the trick
