I just had this happen to me on a fresh edgy install of a Lenovo T60.
The network didn't come up during install (ipw3945 couldn't auto-detect
the office wifi). So post-install, I brought the network up by pointing
it at the right ESSID. At that point ntpdate helpfully slewed the
clock by -28805 seconds and sudo promptly went onstrike on any existing
ttys.
Either we shouldn't slew time so drastically or core system tools like
sudo shouldn't break when we do.
** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
Status: Rejected => Confirmed
