Here is a script that shows a rather odd problem with dates in our system (Integrated Solutions V24; 68020; 4.3 BSD) ----------------------------------------------------- Script started on Mon Apr 17 13:18:55 1989 lakart!dg(tmp)[61]-> date Mon Apr 17 13:19:01 EDT 1989 lakart!dg(tmp)[62]-> mail dg hello ^D EOT lakart!dg(tmp)[63]-> su Password: lakart# date -t300 1320 Mon Apr 17 13:20:00 EDT 1989 lakart# ^D lakart!dg(tmp)[64]-> date Mon Apr 17 13:20:07 EDT 1989 lakart!dg(tmp)[65]-> mail dg goodbye ^D EOT lakart!dg(tmp)[66]-> cat /usr/spool/mail/dg ..............

When I do a 'date -t300' the system date stays put, but mail falls back into line.
