Folks-
It turns out that I mis-spoke somewhat in my last posting.
The vast majority of the entries dated 3-24-99 are either
directories or links. There are many files, though, that
appear to have been created in the future. A sampling is:
3-24-99: /quota.user
/quota.group
/etc/syslog.conf_nsrsave
/etc/srconf/mgr/snmpinfo.dat
/sys/BINARY/comet.mod
/sys/BINARY/pvp.mod
4-10-99 /etc/passwd ???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/etc/svid3_tz
To answer a further question that has been asked, we did
NOT install any software. We simply took the computer
out of the box and turned it on. All software is factory
loaded.
Am I going to run into problems in further installing this/
these computers if they have files created in the future?
Is this a secret Digital/Compaq Y2K test?
Thanks again,
Mike
