DetailsI did not install any X server. Just the text interface.
Login tty1 as root. Login tty2 as another user. (normal user, created before) Now when I sudo, it does not ask for password! If I use sudo after some time, then it asks. May be a security problem? |

The timeout for asking the password in sudo does not expire with a reboot. Are you running into that?

In Ubuntu, if you open a new terminal, and sudo, you have to enter password, even if you have entered password in another terminal in the last 15 minutes. I think this is the best. In Archlinux, if you open a new terminal, and if you have entered sudo in another terminal a few minutes earlier, you dont have to enter password. I think this is a bad idea. If you can clarify this point I will be grateful.

Arch uses the default sudo behaviour. Feel free to configure it how you would like on your system.

I also wondered about this. If this is the default behavior for sudo, as Allan said, then I think we should keep it. After all, arch is no openbsd :)
