Many pointed out that it would be best to wait until my operating system
was upgraded from 4.0b to 4.0d since 4.0d is certified Y2000 complient.
Others have successfully rolled the system clocks forward and tested
their applications without any problems besides funny looking wtmp
and message files. The suggestion I liked best was to rent a machine
and do the testing on that machine. That way I would not have to worry
about fitting the test into a weekend and clean up would be easy. Others
shared their specific test plans for not only unix but their entire
systems.
Most of these invlolved haveing some duplicate machines to test with.

Again thanks for all the help.
