[Wolves] Epoch - Was: Peter is now offical timekeeper

[Lee Jordan]

Anyone having problem with the Unix Epoch yet. Problems due to hit in 2 days
time? We might be having a few problems but I don't understand the
differences between the bases ie 10 base 12 base?

Which sort of implementation is affected and what software, esp web related
software, will fall over?
Mac Epoch is 100 years old, means not that much to me to be honest.

Cheers
Lee

Yep. The clock ends up wrong. Don't know why this is, and it isn't
important enough to investigate :)

Last time I set it up I couldn't get it to work. Moreover, ntpd seemed
to be designed for you serving time to other people; ntpdate was
designed for you to keep the clock right on one machine, no?
