- I had this happen to my system too ... which was a *real* PITA because the node
- runs a DTSS server (currently without an external time provider) to keep all
- the machine clocks the same on the whole LAN. This unexpected change was very
- tedious to fix since with DECdts running "SET TIME" doesn't work and I had to
- read up on the DTSS$CONTROL command "SET EPOCH ..." before I could fix it, by
- which time some of the clients had started to drift their clocks ...
-
- What I'd like to know is why the upgrade (V5.4-2 -> A5.5) changed the clock at
- all?
