Time but not date... OK. In any case it'd be easy to add a "fake clock" to the VM right? just intercept calls to the hardware clock and return whatever user-selected fixed value for the date... Or perhaps there's a tool on Linux to fake the system time on a per-process basis? Something like what this does in perl? http://search.cpan.org/~rosulek/Time-Fake-0.11/lib/Time/Fake.pm FC _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
