It is 'ddate' (discordian date) and is executed from /etc/profile.

Unfortunately, the .rpm format requires support for the SVR4 new-CRC
cpio format, which only the gnu-cpio program supports.  For various
reasons, I'm sticking with the 'pax' program for both cpio and tar
support.  I do have it on my list to add support for SVR4-CRC format to
pax, after which it will be easy to make a kludged un-rpm utility.

If you want, you can always put gnu-cpio and some rpm utility on there
using the customization process.
