Re: sudo:timestamp too far in the future I believe its a security measure to stop a method of getting around certain security related restrictions by changing the date. To stop people from changing the date to use this 'exploit', sudo gives this message if the timestamp is 'too far into the future'. That's my vague explanation. I've read about it in detail a long time ago, but I don't recall the exact details. Basically if your clock is way out of sync and you change the date, this problem will occur. There are methods of fixing it, but they are not well documented on the wiki or in the forum atm. It might be an idea for someone to do the research and create a little HOW TO on how to resolve the issue.
