- On our NextStep 3.0 systems, when root attempts to set the date
- with, for example, "date 11062201", the date-and-time argument gets
- treated as UCT instead of local time. Thus, after the above
- command here, date announces that the time is 1401; I had to use
- the argument 11070601 to get the proper local time. Is this
- supposed to be that way? It's certainly a different assumption
- than the one the vendor-supplied date command makes.
