How to have sudo prompts passwd every single time?

So it seems a pre-defined set of timer kicks in when a sudo passwd is input because I can manipulate files in the root space w/o being prompted anymore or even when I quit Terminal.
My question is how can I set this timer, (assuming there is one and I'm just guessing here) to null so that I get prompted for sudo password every single time without exception?
Thanks.

You may also want to rethink setting the timer so you get prompted every single time. If you are doing a series of commands it will be very annoying and distracting to have to enter your password each time.
!5 secs or so is a good compromise.
BTW why do you want to be prompted each and every time? It sounds like something is not right in your setup. Sudo shouldn't act like you describe out of the box.

  • Is there any way of accessing my iPod through Windows without having to reinstall the apple iPod driver every single time?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen, and whenever I plug it into one particular computer, it has trouble detecting the camera's files (but it works on all others). I know this tells me that it's either a driver conflict, or something in the BIOS. I don't particularly want to be messing about in the BIOS though if I'm completely honest. Can anyone give any insight as to what my ipod is conflicting with/why it won't open in Windows.
    The only time the iPod opens in Windows is if I go into 'Devices and Printers' and troubleshoot the device "Apple iPod" (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver works fine) but I have to do this every single time!
    The computer I am using is running Windows 7 64-bit.
    I have looked at the list of conflicting drivers which are given by Apple and I own no drivers by any of these manufacturers as far as I know.
    (Thought I'd be better underlining that because someone will probably try and send me to that page.)

  • TS1538 Is there a fix for this? How can I get it to where my device will show up in itunes without having to reinstall itunes every single time?

    To get my Iphone 4 to show up in iTunes, I have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it EVERY single time I want to connect my device to iTunes. I've tried just using a wi-fi connection and that won't work. It's very annoying to have to go through all that trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes every time that I need to connect to my iTunes account. I first got this phone in Germany when I was visiting my uncle who was stationed there, he had got the phone from AT&T here in the U.S. while in Germany connecting to his computer to itunes was no problem, it'd connect without any issues. Then when I came home back to the states, my phone would no longer connect to itunes on my computer unless I unistalled and reinstalled, but my computer does recognize my device when I connect every time just itunes does not and I don't understand why it's doing that. Is there any way to fix this? How can I get my device to show up in itunes without having to reinstall it every time?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • Every single time I move to another page, I get a pop-up. Yes, I have clicked on Tools and set browser to block ALL pop-ups. But Mozilla seems to be ingnoring.

    Suddenly, a month or so ago, every single time I open a new page, Mozilla opens a pop-up window. Yes, I have clicked on Tools, etc and set my settings to block ALL pop-ups. Yet, Mozilla has decided to circumvent this setting. If this situation is not handled within a week or two, I shall find and begin using another browser (not that anyone really cares).

  • Every single time I power up photoshop CC get an error. says " the monitor profile "acer S201HL" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. How do I fix this?

    Every single time I power up photoshop CC get an error. says " the monitor profile "acer S201HL" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. How do I fix this?

    Your factory-supplied monitor profile, associated with your monitor by the operating system, is bad.  It's more common than you'd think.
    To avert the error:
    Open the Color Management panel of your Windows operating system.  In the Devices tab, if it is not already listed [ Add... ] the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile and [ Set as default Profile ].
    After doing the above, log out of Windows and back in again, just to ensure everything's updated.
    Note that the above assumes your monitor is more or less displaying color in the sRGB color space (sRGB is short for sRGB IEC61966-2.1).  For many monitors this isn't a terribly wrong assumption.
    If you want to ensure you have the most accurate color, consider buying a calibration and profiling device, which (with its associated software) can set your calibration and generate custom color profiles by doing actual measurements from your monitor.  You'll want to take some time to get your mind around how color-management works, and that is not a trivial task.  It's certainly well beyond what can be taught in a forum post by post.
    Good luck.

  • Do i have to enter my adobe id and password every single time I open Creative Cloud?

    do i have to enter my adobe id and password every single time I open Creative Cloud?
    I have a very long email and after 4 days of using I am already irritated to hell!
    Please add an option to auto login or something please!!!!!!

    If it did, I wouldn't be asking the question......  But I have since discovered what I think is at the heart of the problem: 
    I have my default browser as Chrome. I noticed I did not have a reply button on your post when using Chrome, I swithched to IE and their was a reply button. Hence how I am now managing to reply!
    So it twigged that maybe that also had something to do with the sign of the Creative Cloud App from my notification area icon, seems werid to me but -  Sure enough, now it does keep me logged in between sessions.
    So are you going to fix so I do not have to set IE as my default browser?

  • How can I download multiple apps without entering my Apple ID every single time?

    How can I download multiple songs or apps without entering my Apple ID every single time?

    It took me a moment to remember where this was!
    1. Open the iTunes app on your Mac and Sign out of your account (Store menu.)
    2. Without signing back in go to the iTunes App Store and buy a free app that you already have*.
    3. A dialog box will pop up for you to sign into your account. When signing in, be sure to tick the box that says Remember password.
    * You can choose any app that you wish, choosing one that you already have keeps you from buying any old app that you may not want.

    Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

    What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

  • Updated to iTunes 11.0.1 on my iMac 10.6.8 and it crashes every single time on launch.

    As above, I foolishly updated to iTunes 11.0.1 after a software update prompt on my iMac 10.6.8, thinking I was doing a good thing getting my machine ready for my daughter's new iPad mini tomorrow.
    As it stands, the iPad is going to be such a let down as iTunes is crashing every single time on launch, never my own frustration having no access to my tunes. Thanks a bunch Apple.
    Can someone please state in easy to follow instructions how I might repair iTunes.
    If it helps with a solution, I have a Jan 2012 backup of the app which I cannot open receiving the following message:-
    "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"

    In anticipation, thanks.

    Thanks Mike.
    What I have ended up doing is
    purchasing Snow Mountain 10.8.2 & installing
    doing the disk repairs as you stated
    rebooted
    and eventually things seem okay with iTunes having synced an iPod, viewed playlists and played a load of tunes.
    Disappointed Apple have again failed with a piece of software and have taken £13.99 that I needn't have spent but pleased to not be letting the daughter down tomorrow.
    Thanks for your help Mike.
    Happy Christmas.

  • ITunes asking me to sign in every single time

    I am currently using itunes version 11.1.3.8 and it keeps asking me to sign in at least twice every single time I use it. I tried turned off automatic downloads on both my devices reset my machine and....it didn't work I am running out of ideas I had this issue a long time ago with a older version of iTunes and I can't remember how I fixed it.
