you sure about that? brain is a little cloudy right now, and recall is not supplying file names, but linux and unix use their own time keeping routine. routine counts from 'day 1' and iirc, there are 2 or 3 files, in /etc, that are used to make corrections to the time keeping routine. one of them is name 'adjtime'. do not recall others. -- peace out.
