Okay, Ethan - seems you know something about time om PowerBooks. Do you (or anyone else on this list) have a clue on this one also: When my TiBook dies fram a drained out battery, upon restart the time is reset to 1933. running 'date' says it is 1903. Running ntpdate doesn't help - suspect it doesn't deal well with "negative" dates below 1970. I made ntpdate work again by manually running 'date -u 010112002000' before the ntpdate command. Would it maybe make sense to add this kind of "reset" to the kernel - maybe with an earlier date, like 1/1 1970. If not, then maybe just add such reset in ntpdate?
