There is no "official" statement AFAIK. The fact that the unix clock will last far beyond the millenium is pretty well known. I personally consider it a non-issue, but I am not your managers. :) Most operating systems have no Y2K problems. Even winblows 95 is Y2K compliant. You should probably take a hard look at your apps first. __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Have fun, ) Jason Wells )-------( Wannabe Sysadmin \_____/
