[CMOS clock set to stardate :)] Could it be that the new debian box has a different version of clock? A while back I upgraded mine (from the one in the stable tree to the one in the unstable tree --- sorry I forget the exact version) and my clock started acting up (one day we were in the 21st century). After a while I simply downgraded clock (in util-linux) and the problem went away. Giuseppe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
