Bugzilla – Bug 846
timeouts are unrealistic even when specified
Last modified: 2018-09-05 06:28:14 MDT
Even when timeout and password-timeout are specified: bseadm19 # sudo -V Sudo version 1.8.24 Configure options: --with-insults=disabled --with-logging=syslog --with-logfac=auth --with-editor=/usr/bin/vim:/usr/bin/vi:/bin/vi --with-env-editor --prefix=/opt/GEapps --enable-noargs-shell --with-pam --with-project --with-logging=file --with-logpath=/var/adm/sudo --without-mail-if-no-user --without-sendmail --with-ldap --disable-pie --with-libpath=/opt/GEapps/lib --with-password-timeout=5 --with-timeout=5 --with-project --disable-tmpfiles.d Sudoers policy plugin version 1.8.24 Sudoers file grammar version 46 Sudoers path: /etc/sudoers nsswitch path: /etc/nsswitch.conf ldap.conf path: /etc/ldap.conf ldap.secret path: /etc/ldap.secret Authentication methods: 'pam' Lecture user the first time they run sudo Require users to authenticate by default Root may run sudo If sudo is invoked with no arguments, start a shell Allow some information gathering to give useful error messages Visudo will honor the EDITOR environment variable Set the LOGNAME and USER environment variables Length at which to wrap log file lines (0 for no wrap): 80 Authentication timestamp timeout: 18000.0 minutes Password prompt timeout: 18000.0 minutes
The actual timeout is correct, it was just being displayed incorrectly. This is fixed by https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/8775c17229a4
Fixed in sudo 1.8.25
