Sudo issue and incorrect time and date
The error started occurring after I decided to set the right time on my bios's clock. I also messed with hwclock a few times to change the time.
sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Nov 6 12:10:40 2008
Is this a really bad thing?
Also, besides installing something like opentpd, what can I do to fix my system's time and date?

Re: Sudo issue and incorrect time and date
Try deleting /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime and restart your system.
To know or not to know ...

Actually, I already did change the battery and I'm still getting the error. What I haven't done is delete that particular file....yet.

Re: Sudo issue and incorrect time and date
Already deleted /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime and restarted the comp. Everything's working fine.
Installed openntpd and its taking care of the incorrect time.
The only issue I have left is with the sudoers file. I want to add timestamp_timeout=0 for a little bit of added security but I'm doing something wrong.

Re: Sudo issue and incorrect time and date
I think the timestamp_timeout=0 line goes along with the defaults
defaults env_reset insults timestamp_timeout=0
does that look right?
