    My answers to “Would you explain this gap in your resume?”:

    1. Relevancy: “I only included relevant experience on the copy of my resume that you received.” Hiking experience isn’t relevant. Couch experience isn’t relevant. Time spent as the forgotten pawn in the machinations of capitalism isn’t relevant.
    2. Privacy: “I am not required to disclose medical information, and will not be discussing this matter any further.”
    3. Fuck 'em: “No.”


  • The answer to the text of the question is: that would continue to work. sudo doesn’t re-auth while a child process is still running, which in this case is su. Until su terminates, sudo doesn’t have anything to say about it. To be a bit more precise, the time limit for reauth would expire, but sudo doesn’t ask for authorization, and therefore wouldn’t check if that timeout has elapsed, until the next invocation.

    To answer the spirit of the question: you should probably be using sudo -i instead.
