This morning I can't use sudo. Not sure why. Here's some relevant output.
[glenn@15alpha ~]$ ls /var/log/samba/
ls: cannot open directory /var/log/samba/: Permission denied
[glenn@15alpha ~]$ sudo ls /var/log/samba/
sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Mar 29 08:57:06 2011
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Up until this morning I've been able to use sudo without issue. Now all I see when I use the command is the word old. Here's a few facts leading up to the sudo issue.
1. Last night I installed Ubuntu 10 on another partition on this hard disk.
2. Since the installation of Ubuntu the system time has changed to 4 or 5 hours ahead (future) on all other installed OS's on this computer. I've changed them back one by one.
3. I've updated the system using yum and am running a new kernel, 2.6.38.2-8.fc15.i686.PAE
Notice the system seems to think that this is the first time I've ever used the command. Any thoughts? I'm going to reboot and see what happens.
By the way, the sudo password is not old. That's the response I get when I type the sudo password.
