I made a big mistake the upshot of which is that many of my files (including many port/makefiles) have the wrong date. As a result, I get a lot of failures when trying to install from ports. I can get around it by temporarily setting the date, building the port, then resetting the date, but it is still inconvenient. I would rather not do a clean install at this point, but am wondering if "touching" all of the files on my system would solve this problem WITHOUT creating any new ones? If it would, what might those new complications be? As I say, it is not mission-critical at this point, but it would be helpful to fix this. Thanks for any help. Richard DeLaurell
