About 11 this morning I checked my mail again, then ran trn ... "no unread news" ... says what, says I. After some investigation, I discover that my system thinks it is the year 2,000. The rest of the date and time are still correct. The year was correct when I rebooted. I sent mail that was time stamped correctly right after I rebooted. The CMOS time/year is still right. I cannot determine exactly when this happend. I have no idea how it happend. No big deal, except that half a gig of news spool, even the stuff that I have a 6 months expire time on, went away, and the sites I feed will not see half a days worth of news.
