Received this little tidbit via email via a D.C. law firm, that got it from someone at UPenn: >> For IP sleuthing. >> From a reliable source I learned that earlier today, Friday, in Australia, at a large ice cream plant, there 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 understands 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. UPenn got it from Jock Gill [http://www.casti.com/gill/long-bio.html]. Ken *Salaets* ggg.
