[Voyage-linux] sudo: timestamp too far in the future:

Have a look at the sudo manpage. There are some options like this:

       -k  The -k (kill) option to sudo invalidates the user’s timestamp by
           setting the time on it to the Epoch.  The next time sudo is run a
           password will be required.  This option does not require a password
           and was added to allow a user to revoke sudo permissions from a
           .logout file.

You probably want to experiment on a more accessible system first...
