freaking out. Also sendmail refuses to work. Since I'm only stupid
enough to do this about once every three months, I've forgotten that

what about an init script that runs just after the network is up, but
before postgres, that checks the date and if it's < 2001 force it to
1/1/2001 then run ntpdate to get the real date?
just a work around for a poor design, but the best i can think of.
