[Bug 76639] Re: sudo: timestamp too far in the future
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 43233 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43233 yes, I am also getting the same error. I thnk it has to be a bug or a security measure. I changed my network several times and also used ssh several times. Once I typed "sdo" instead of "sudo" for ssh. And after that it starts giving me message for all sudoers commands. sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Dec 12 13:16:01 2007 I think it happened under same circumstances for most of people. So it might be some security issue over network or a bug. I am using ultimate ubuntu based on feisty7.04 it get solved using sudo -K no need to restart the machine or to remove any directory. but I think it removes some commands from history. -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 43233 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43233 Incidentally, I just had this same problem with my old pentium II. It's a headless server that primarily runs mpd for our music on hold. I logged in through ssh and changed the network so that I could run apt- get for updates after changing the network structure at the office. I had no problems until the network successfully connected to the internet. Then, I was getting the "sudo timestamp to far in the future..." error. >From an ssh terminal on a headless server I could not change the time without running ssh. I threw up my hands and went to do something else. I cam back an hour or two later and voila, it worked fine. Something happened within that time to resolve the error, and I wonder if it wasn't just a ntpdate update or something like that. -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 43233 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43233 I saw the same issue on gutsy just now. I tried telling the date and time applet to synchronize with internet servers. It couldn't find the ntp package, but nonetheless seemed to be able to do an ntpdate call. After, I tried to run apt-get update with sudo, and sudo would not run, giving me the "timestamp too far in the future" error. So, I was stuck, unable to change the time, as that would require running sudo also. -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 76639] Re: sudo: timestamp too far in the future
I think the problem may be related with DST (Daylight Saving Time). I think, that when editing file with vi and saving it, the DST is somehow misinterpreted and the timestamps are set to +1 hour incorrectly, which causes the sudo error. Just a thought, but I had no problems with sudo before editing the file as brettalton said. Hope this will be fixed soon. -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 76639] Re: sudo: timestamp too far in the future
im opening again since im experiencing this on feisty and believe it to be a bug. if you manually change the time to a few hours earlier after having used sudo you will now be unable to run any system preferences tools. since they use gksudo e.g. network-admin will quit quietly. even if it "only" takes 15 minutes this behaviour seems very confusing to a user who cant do any config for this length of time...i think this might be a bug in sudo... my error is also sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Mar 28 12:44:36 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu) Status: Rejected => Unconfirmed -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://launchpad.net/bugs/76639 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Only thing is, I don't have my system setup to use NTP. But, this interesting bit showed up in the logs: Dec 20 13:44:59 localhost ntpdate[15309]: step time server 82.211.81.145 offset -3598.328095 sec Dec 20 13:47:06 localhost ntpdate[15446]: step time server 82.211.81.145 offset 0.87 sec Dec 20 14:18:09 localhost ntpdate[16404]: step time server 82.211.81.145 offset -3598.302093 sec -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://launchpad.net/bugs/76639 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looks like this is something odd that happened with ntpdate, not sudo. ** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://launchpad.net/bugs/76639 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 76639] Re: sudo: timestamp too far in the future
Sounds like connecting to the network ran ntp via /etc/network/if- up.d/ntpdate, causing time to be synced and set an hour or so back (check logs?). Which would in turn be reason for sudo to complain about timestamps being too far in the future. Man page only specifies "Timestamps with a date greater than current_time + 2 * TIMEOUT will be ignored and sudo will log and complain. This is done to keep a user from creating his/her own timestamp with a bogus date on systems that allow users to give away files". Apparently the timestamp is only ignored for as long as it's too far off, but not removed or invalidated. With timeout at (iirc) 15 minutes, it would take about 19 minutes in your situation for sudo to "start working again" without new password. -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://launchpad.net/bugs/76639 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 76639] Re: sudo: timestamp too far in the future
If you wait a little while and get closer to the timestamp, sudo starts working, but with no password needed. I'm adding a security vulnerability as this is unexpected behavior of a part of the security subsystem. ** This bug has been flagged as a security issue -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://launchpad.net/bugs/76639 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If you reboot fsck will fix it. Anyway I did have this bug too once... -- sudo: timestamp too far in the future https://launchpad.net/bugs/76639 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
