Hello. I'm still on Kubuntu Dapper, I don't know what you are using. (My sudo package is version "1.6.8p12-1ubuntu6", and "sudo -v" gives, accordingly, "Sudo version 1.6.8p12".)
Here's what I just used for reproducing this: 0) Boot up. 1) Do "ctrl-alt-f1" and login on tty1 as yourself. 2) "sudo date -s xx:yy:zz" where xx:yy:zz is at least two hours in the future (I used "14:00:00") 3) "sudo date -s aa:bb:cc" where aa:bb:cc is two hours and ten minutes less than xx:yy:zz (I used "11:50:00") 4) "sudo -k" 5) "sudo -K" 6) "sudo -v" 7) "sudo ls" Parts 4 through 7 give the same error, timestamp too far in the future. Re-browsing the discussion above, I feel it necessary to add that _none_ of the commands 4 through 7 give me the opportunity to input my password. If I read you correctly, it does for you, Martin. For this reason I am beginning to suspect differences in how sudo is configured for causing this. I will attach my "/etc/sudoers", though I believe it is the standard one shipped with Dapper. (Now, here's a hint that something _may_ be amiss and possibly even depend on the individual system. If I was observing closely enough, on the very first time I tried this today, "sudo -k" wouldn't work, but "sudo -K" immediately after that did. I used much the same procedure as above, but not the same times by the second etc. I'm sorry that I can't confirm this to 100%, since I don't have a videographic memory... If this really was happening, though, it would seem possible that the program unintentionally used some random bit in the memory for identifying what to do.) ** Attachment added: "I changed the file ownership to be able to submit it." http://librarian.launchpad.net/6440524/sudoers -- "sudo -k" fails when timestamp is in the future https://launchpad.net/bugs/43233 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
