[expert] Touch

[Red Hat Linux User]

I guess I'm dense. I can set a date stamp with the following syntax:

touch -d 0326 filename

which gets me 26 March 2001. This is OK if I want only to set day and
month. If I want a specific hour or year, no matter what numerical value
I supply, touch returns 'invalid date format'. man touch gives no
examples. What's the secret?
