Bug Description

The time was set to "8:49" in the clock on the taskbar; when I try to sudo, it
says something about 16:49 (the correct time) being too far in the future. So
sudo and ksudo both don't work as a result -- nothing I can do to fix!

I've reset the hardware time aswell as the system time for about 2 hours in the past. Also I adjusted /etc/default/rcS so that UTC=no. When I tried to use sudo it gave me an error. The sudo timestamp was to far in the future. After a few minutes however the effect seemed to have worn off and sudo was functioning perfectly well.

ubuntu dapper, gnome
Not tried to reproduce.

the wear off may be bc you have time syncronization turned on?
