Purpose of sudo

is sudo really about security or just more of a "prevent myself from doing dumb shit by mistake" feature?

If it's the former, what are some of the things sudo protects your server from if say, a sudo account is compromised/hacked?

How to change the number of minutes that the sudo password is cached

This is a really QUICK TIP!

When you run any command as root, using sudo, the password is remembered for 15 minutes by default.
If you want to change the time that the password is cached, open the terminal (as root) and run:

editor /etc/sudoers

Find this line in the file:

defaults env_reset

And change it into:

defaults env_reset , timestamp_timeout=x

where “x” is the time in minutes that the password will be cached.

Save and exit and work is done!
