Hello all,
yesterday we encountered an effect with the FBB BBS software,
that may be a year-2000-problem.
We tested our Linux machine as recommended in several
computer magazines for year-2000-compatibility by changing the
date to Dec 31, 1999 and the time to 11:59 p.m. in the BIOS of the
machine.
After booting the system we entered the date command and were
happy to get the right date: Jan 1, 2000. But then we started FBB
and were a little bit surprised:
At login, FBB showed a date of 01.01.190 (yes, that's no typo!).
Although we were estonished we stopped further investigating this
problem since we didn't want to corrupt our mail database.
Because we all are no C specialists we have one question: Will
there be a fix available timely or will we have to migrate to some
other BBS?
With best regards
Gerd
