1 Over a period of a week or so, while I was celebrating the holidays,
2 my system experienced a hardware hiccough, causing system
3 clock/hardware clock time to change to 2020. The upshot is that a
4 bunch of merges, a kernel compile, and various other system components
5 have files that are way out of date.
6
7 I have experimentally touched some files with the current date and
8 time. Before I blow my holiday reverie in changing dates in this way,
9 piecemeal, I want to ask the list what special issues I need to be
10 aware of regarding system dates/file dates and times, etc., and any
11 advice on fixing this mess.
12
13 Thanks for help in the past, and I would also like to add my regards
14 and best wishes for a great 2006.
