Out of 5 FreeBSD9 systems, this one system exhibits this behavior while all the others time out like they should. Setting the value to 0 should cause one to always have to enter a password, but not on this system. Has anyone ever seen this before? The sudoers file is a copy of the same sudoers file we use on the other machines. I have also tried sudo from a few other user ID's on the system and see the same behavior. Thank you. Martin McCormick
