Timezone, month, day, and time were correct during install/config but I never noticed the year was in the future until ntpd refused to adjust the clock. Will this be a problem when the filesystem has virtually every file and directory stamped 7 years from now? The box will be kept up with -STABLE and I'm sure ports will be installed/deinstalled. The nit-picker in me wants me touch the entire filesystem with the current date but I'm not sure that's a good idea. Advice? -- Regards, Doug
