Reduce sudo timeout period

The sudo command lets the user run programs as the root user, granting them high levels of configurability within the system. The sudo command stays logged in as the root user for five minutes before timing out and re-requesting a password. This five-minute window should be eliminated since it leaves the system extremely vulnerable.
