Like sudo, pwm could become less annoying and ask rather seldom for the master password. After pwm was successfully unlocked, a ticket is granted for 5 minutes (this timeout is configurable). Each subsequent pwm command updates the ticket for another 5 minutes. This avoids the problem of leaving a shell where others can physically get to your keyboard.
