It works fine for me:
head -1 /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 12.3 Beta 1 (x86_64) sudo -k sudo id root's password: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) sleep 240 && sudo id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
If you don't explicitly specify the timestamp_timeout, what timeout does "sudo -V | grep timeout" tell? (run this command as root) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

With not explicit timestamp_timeout I now get 5 Minutes, as it should have allways been.
