Description P. Hamming 2013-09-03 13:20:49 MDT

In sudoers-1.8.6b4 in two msgid's an epoch is mentioned. As far as I know the Unix epoch is meant here, but it is not conclusive.
The msgid's are: "unable to remove %s (%s), will reset to epoch" and "unable to reset to epoch". This is in plugins/sudoers/check.c:690 and 698. In version 1.8.8b1 these msgid's have not been changed.
Can you be more conclusive?

Yes, it means the Unix epoch.  I've just committed a change to be more specific.

Fixed in sudo 1.8.8
