Hello managers,
see my original question at the end of this summary.
Obviously this is not a (known) problem for you. And it wasn't for me,
but because we had some problems here, i thought, i'll better ask the list...
I thank you, especially tose who took time to answer me!
One answer told me about a similar case, but with "only" 30 minutes ahead,
another one suggested to check for a screwed-up timezone and checking
the logs and
the last answer suggested to use ntp on all machines, if that's okay...
I think, i'll be keeping an eye on the date-behaviour.
And here comes my original question:
>most of our DU-machines have a date that is synchronized via ntpdate.
>
>On few of our other machines (DU, VMS, Linux) i have seen a date that
>has "somehow" gained one day. I have realized this about 4 or 5 times
>within the last 2(?) months.
>
>My last example was on a Linux box, which claimed last monday, that is
>was 1-Sep-1998 (while all the others agreed, that it was still 31-Aug-1998).
>
>I wonder how such a gain on a running machine could happen?
>If no user changed the date, are there other possibilities?
With regards,
Bernt Christandl
