I'm not sure to understand exactly your question, so my answer might be 
a bit... not accurate... Let's try

if I sudo once for a command (let say, dpkg -i webmin_1.290.deb), if I 
sudo a second time within a short period of time, there's no need to 
reenter the password again.

Also, if I run a script as sudo, the entire script seems to have root 
access... for exemple, I did a simple scrit that turns off samba, write 
to a file and restart samba.  If I run sudo ./scriptname.sh , it asks 
for the password, then executes the entire script, including restarting 
samba, which requires root privileges...

I hope this helps.  If not, I'll be more than happy to help...
