[comp.unix.microport] Strange date

mike@cs.keele.ac.uk (Michael A. Green) (09/21/89)

Hi,
	First, Thanks to all the people who mailed me how to fix ulimit,
	it now works fine.


	I have just fiddled with my uucp, and noticed some funny dates in 
	the system log.

	I tried: date
		Thu Sep 21 01:32:55 BST 1989

	I then said: /etc/setup date
		Saturday, September 20, 1989	(it is realy a Wednesday)

	and: /etc/bsetdate
		Wed Sep 20 17:33:00 BST 1989  (this is correctish)

	and then: date
		Thu Sep 21 01:33:55 BST 1989

	My question is, why is only one the correct answer,
	and which one provides the timestamp for files, etc.

	Also how do I sort it out so that date gives the correct answer?

	Thanks,
	--Mike
