Fileset dce.pthreads is nothing to worry about relative to shifting time
backwards.  The filesets to worry about begin dce.client.core.rte.  Then the
question is are you using those filesets....to determine try "lsdce".  If
the returns any configured components (except maybe RPC Endpoint Mapper)
then you must restore you DCE databases after testing.  Of course, if you
aren't aware you are using DCE, you're probably not.

                Kelly,

                I tested a 43P with 4.1.5 on it (plus all the Y2K fixes).  I
let the date roll
                over from 12-31-99.  I did not have any problems rolling the
date back.  I did
                not have to do a restore.  I was told if you use DCE then
you would have to
                restore so I removed all DCE related filesets prior to doing
my test.
