[comp.unix.aix] File times in 3002.

(I installed 3002 on Jan. 7 and my clock also bumps back one day on reboot.)

Do an `ls -l' in /usr/lpp/bos (for example).  Are several files dated
far into 1991 as on my machine?  This won't confuse the backups, I hope?

PS: I will report this to IBM when they return my other call :-)

OOPS.  The time stamps are OK.  It is a feature of `ls -l' to switch
from day,hour to day,year when the file is older than about 6 months.
Now where did I leave my egg towel ?
