From 'man sudoers':
timestamp_timeout Number of minutes that can elapse before sudo will
ask for
a passwd again. The default is 15. Set this to
0 to
always prompt for a password. If set to a value
less than
0 the user’s timestamp will never expire. This
can be used
to allow users to create or delete their own
timestamps via
sudo -v and sudo -k respectively.
Using 'visudo', edit /etc/sudoers and add a line:
timestamp_timeout 0
