Did you check the debian web page? (is that not offical enough?) There were statements about Year 2000 issues there. I believe acording to what I read the system has been tested at dates Jan 1, 2000 and beyond. In fact if I remember the only remaining issue with the system was CVS (has that already been fixed?). Of course...being a Unix-like system...the kernel defines time_t as a 32 bit integer number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 so....acording to that... anything relying on time_t should be fine until... 3:14 am Jan 18, 2038 (give or take ;) I may have done the math wrong...but if so I should only be off by a few days) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
