Sure you can customize /etc/sudoers to your heart's content but that's not the point here. (btw, you can use group policy to enforce password at UAC prompt and limit users from system wide changes to Windows).
The point is about a secure & safe way for a common person to authorize an application that wants to make changes to the system and as the defaults stand, sudo prompting for password at every elevation attempt is worse off in my opinion.
- shakna 9y agoDoesn't sudo have a default time setting? Only once every ten minutes per process does it elevate? > The point is about a secure & safe way for a common person to authorize an application I'm not sure that's even possible. The common person doesn't tend to fear putting their credit card info into a random online form.
