Folks, At the beginining of January, I asked about a possible y2k problem on some alpha boxes. The problem is that the machie date is set to year 2000 and not year 2001 after shutdown. I first experienced this on old alphapc164. I thought that SRM of that box is not good. # I remember someone from Germany wrote the same complaint here. These few days I have been playing around a new up1100 based alpha box with FreeBSD 4.2R. UP1100 has got a new SRM, that has got a command `date' in SRM itself---we can set the date as >>> date 200102231430.40 When I rebooted the system I noticed that the date is reset to 2000! When I ran SuSE7.0(Linux) on that beast, no problem like that. The problem seems to be solely specific to FreeBSD/Alpha. Now, I come to believe that some of codes related to shutdown process may not be y2k compliant.
