Password Prompt timer
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2011 12:31 am
Hello; I am new to this forum, but have been running, and loving, LM for quite awhile.
I will start to say that my question is either obvious or impossible; I don't know, simply because I can't seem to find a good way to phrase my query in a 'Google-friendly' way. The title only tells so much, and you can see how irrelevant results can surmise from it.
Anyway, I use the terminal a lot for simple things, like updating and hardware functions (like, restarting via 'init'). And There is, of course, a prompt for password. There is a certain time-frame in which it will except root commands without a password prompt, to which I'm delighted when I fall under; I only ask if there is a way to extend that time-frame (from, a minute to ten minutes, for example) for pure convenience. Once in a blue moon someone will use my computer, and about 98% of those people look at me funny when the terminal appears.
If anyone can offer a simple lesson, it would be appreciated
Regards, Raz
