[Bug 722585] Re: when i type sudo -s in terminal it didn't ask for password and grant root control to me

[Jeremy Bicha]

This is a feature. Sudo remembers that you entered your password for 15
minutes. If you'd like to expire your authentication sooner, run sudo
-k.

Therefore, I'm going to close this bug.

** Package changed: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) => sudo (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid

  Invalid

  When I Type "sudo -s" Command For The First Time It Ask For Password before Granting Root Access.
  But After Closing That Terminal Window When I Open Another Terminal Window And Type "sudo -s" Command It Didn't Ask For Password.
