Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p12-4
Severity: normal

I just realised my clock was set to UTC rather than UTC+1 as it should
be, so I fixed it.

Now, when I try to use 'sudo' I see:
  sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Dec 22 17:44:47 2006

That's fair enough - the last time I used sudo the clock was set
wrongly.  So I can wait an hour, and then sudo will start working for
me again.

But I should be able to run "sudo -k" or "sudo -K" to delete the
timestamp file, but I can't:

  $ type sudo
  sudo is hashed (/usr/bin/sudo)
  $ sudo -k
  sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Dec 22 17:44:47 2006
  $ sudo -K
  sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Dec 22 17:44:47 2006
  $ 

The man page says that neither -k not -K require a password, so why is
the timestamp file being checked for these cases?
