But the specified commands are ALL, right? and how can I set authenticate to off?? I can't seem to find that in the man page.

ALL commands that you run using sudo; you are not running sudo using.sudo, however. That is, you are not running sudo sudo -v. So it doesn't apply. To change the authenticate setting, consult the section of the man page that deals with defaults and also look at the examples at the end.

well, running sudo sudo -v requires no password, and I thought it will update the timestamp, however, running sudo -v immediately after that prompts for password. I've edited that into the question too.
