Subject: [Q] really old file timestamps (e.g., circa 1915)?
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1993 16:36:55 GMT


I know I read something about this at some point, but I can't
find it now that I need to know it. How does one explain a
timestamp of March 1, 1915 on a file? In particular, the most
recent SLS release (w/ 0.99pl6) has some files
(e.g., /usr/X386/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc in the xother.tpz
file of disk x6) with these old timestamps. Not that this is
a problem, per se, but I'm wondering whether this leads to any
other types of corruption.
