btw, as an aside... to fix your date, use something like...
root# ntpdate time.nist.gov
i update a central server via xntpd once every hour, then use ntpdate from
all the servers across my international company every hour from it. If we
dodn;t do this, scarey things happen to our distributed coding environment.
(we use rcs, cvs, and cvsup for some of our internal source code!)

Vinesh,
When I issue 'date', the date is accurate and the time is within a couple of
minutes of EDT.
Cheers...
