Over a period of a week or so, while I was celebrating the holidays, my system experienced a hardware hiccough, causing system clock/hardware clock time to change to 2020. The upshot is that a bunch of merges, a kernel compile, and various other system components have files that are way out of date.
I have experimentally touched some files with the current date and time. Before I blow my holiday reverie in changing dates in this way, piecemeal, I want to ask the list what special issues I need to be aware of regarding system dates/file dates and times, etc., and any advice on fixing this mess. Thanks for help in the past, and I would also like to add my regards and best wishes for a great 2006.
