Force sudo to re-ask for password?
 
I want to make sudo re-ask me for my password. It caches it for 5 mins I think, but I realise I don't know how to force it to re-ask.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Add timestamp_timeout=0 to your list of flags. E.g. my sudoers file has the line

Code:
Defaults        env_reset,timestamp_timeout=0
at the top.
