One more thing I noticed while checking what's going on with sudo. To my understanding newer versions of sudo treat the epoch as a special case and ignore it as an invalid date. So why does Ubuntu's /etc/init.d/sudo set sudoers timestamps to 198501010000 during the boot? Shouldn't they be set to epoch to invalidate them?
