[news.admin] UUCP status files and wierd dates.

jessea@dynasys.UUCP (Jesse W. Asher) (11/10/90)

I was looking in the status files for UUCP connections and I was trying
to figure out what date was used to calculate the below number:

0 0 658135267 0 SUCCESSFUL rutgers
    ^^^^^^^^^

I assume that this is the date of the last connection.  If this assumption
is incorrect, what is this number?  If it is correct, I have a few more
questions.  Why is such an old date used?  Why not just use the beginning
of the year?  And what is the date that is being used?  Any ideas?
