How can I disable root password caching? I looked at This Question, but I didn't really understand how to do it, is not the same as my question but it is indirectly related.

I tried adding this to /etc/sudoers:

timestamp_timeout=0

But it gave me:

>>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 46 <<<

So I just pressed x. 46 is the line where I added it, so there isn't a problem with anything else.

    You need to enter Defaults timestamp_timeout=0. That is, you forgot the Defaults!

Reset to default

Try:

Defaults timestamp_timeout=0

An example from man 5 sudoers, where a value is appended to an option:

Defaults env_keep += "DISPLAY HOME"
