My mistake. On a first pass, there appeared to be a problem, when I had a closer look, I realised the code was correct as is. >: src/release/picobsd/tinyware/simple_httpd/simple_httpd.c > >I see no Y2K problems here.

IMHO, that code can get dates in the form "Monday, 27-Jan-1997 14:31:09" as well as 2 digit years. If it actually gets a 4-digit year, it will confuse mktime(). >: src/usr.sbin/cron/lib/misc.c > >No bugs found, although dates in mail headers are always two digits. Until 2000, when the year becomes 100. >: src/usr.sbin/i4b/isdndecode/layer3_subr.c >: src/usr.sbin/i4b/isdntrace/q931.c > >I'll leave these to the isdn people. Same here. I don't have the time or inclination to work my way thru Q.931. Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
