RE: Date Problems...
The #uname -a command also gives you the version and date of compilation
(installation ?)
eg one our old machines gives
Linux router1 2.0.36 #1 Thu Sep 2 09:28:09 EST 1999 i686 unknown
one of the newer gives
Linux router2 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown
I often use the command 'hwclock --systohc' to set the clock to the system
time after a date command.

First of all, I don't think that's the real 'uname -a' output. uname -a
has more than just the date. Second of all, the hardware clock and the
system (Linux) clock are different. if you type the command 'date',
you'll probably get the same output as uname. To transfer the hardware
clock to the system clock, use the command 'hwclock --hctosys'.
