  Hello,
  I have the following information more. The WS is a COMPAQ Alpha WS
XP1000.
  I see in binary file disk the problem already started on Dec 1. since
  there was an automatic reboot. The user never informed me about this.
>From there onwards the year seems to be wrong.In binary.errlog I see
the following entry:

Logging OS 2. Digital UNIX
System Architecture 2. Alpha
Event sequence number 0.
Timestamp of occurrence 01-DEC-2034 14:16:01
<-------------
Host name psw222

System type register x00000022 Systype 34. (Regatta Family)
Number of CPUs (mpnum) x00000001
CPU logging event (mperr) x00000000

   I would like to know whether I have to reinstall the system or not?
  In that case I will never know how the year is changed.

  Sorry for the trouble and thanks in advance.

  Regards,
  Kumar

  Hello,
   I had a disk crash in one of our Tru64 v5.1A system. So I replaced
   the disk(it was root, usr partition disk-AdvFS) and restored the
   files from a backup. (After booting from CD). Now I see that
   the following directories and many of the files in the directories
   are having the year 2034(?


#ls -l /|grep 2034
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root system 22 Dec 2 2034 .local.. ->
cluster/members/{memb}
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 .sysman
drwx------ 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 .tags
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 TT_DB
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root system 7 Dec 2 2034 bin -> usr/bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x 4 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 cluster
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 26 Dec 2 2034 dev ->
cluster/members/{memb}/dev
drwxr-xr-x 9 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 devices
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 home1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root system 7 Dec 2 2034 lib -> usr/lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 mdec
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 mnt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 8 Dec 2 2034 nsr -> /var/nsr
drwxr-xr-x 4 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 opt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 progs
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 psi
drwxr-xr-x 10 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 sbin
drwxrwxr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 scratch
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 shlib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 subsys
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 sys
drwxr-xr-x 5 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 tcb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 threadsafe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 26 Dec 2 2034 tmp ->
cluster/members/{memb}/tmp
drwxr-xr-x 24 root system 8192 Dec 2 2034 var


  How it can happen? How can I change the year? Whether I have to again
  do a recover from the tape? I have not yet looked on the tape
contents.
  The following files are having correct date:

 # ls -l /vm*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 19047936 Jul 8 2002 /vmunix
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 16660528 Jul 8 2002 /vmunix.PrePatch
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 16825616 Jul 8 2002 /vmunix.orig

    How can I solve this problem? I will very much appreciate for a fast

    suggestion.

   Regards,
   Kumar
