Dave,

For IP sleuthing.

> From a reliable source I learned that earlier today, Friday, in
Australia, at a large icecream plant, their was a very significant
Y2K test.  And a very unsettling failure.  Seems that their Linux
servers went awry.  Seems that this test was confirmed at Linux
central but that no one undestands the problem:  i.e no known fix at
this moment. This is unsettling if true.

Perhaps IPers can tell the rest of us the true situation with Linux
and Y2K.  I regret that I am unable to give the exact steps which
provoked the Linux Y2K problem.

Regards,

Jock
