  Hello,
  I have the following information more. The WS is a COMPAQ Alpha WS
XP1000.
  I see in binary file disk the problem already started on Dec 1. since
  there was an automatic reboot. The user never informed me about this.
>From     there onwards the year seems to be wrong.In binary.errlog I see
the following entry:

Logging OS                        2. Digital UNIX
System Architecture               2. Alpha
Event sequence number             0.
Timestamp of occurrence              01-DEC-2034 14:16:01
<-------------
Host name                            psw222

System type register      x00000022  Systype 34. (Regatta Family)
Number of CPUs (mpnum)    x00000001
CPU logging event (mperr) x00000000 

   I would like to know whether I have to reinstall the system or not?
  In that case I will never know how the year is changed. 

  Sorry for the trouble and thanks in advance.

  Regards,
  Kumar

  Hello,
   I had a disk crash in one of our Tru64 v5.1A system. So I replaced
   the disk(it was root, usr partition disk-AdvFS) and restored the
   files from a backup. (After booting from CD). Now I see that 
   the following directories and many of the files in the directories
   are having the year 2034(?


#ls -l /|grep 2034
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root     system          22 Dec  2  2034 .local.. ->

cluster/members/{memb}/tmp
drwxr-xr-x  24 root     system        8192 Dec  2  2034 var


  How it can happen? How can I change the year? Whether I have to again
  do a recover from the tape? I have not yet looked on the tape
contents.
  The following files are having correct date:

 # ls -l /vm*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system   19047936 Jul  8  2002 /vmunix
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system   16660528 Jul  8  2002 /vmunix.PrePatch
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system   16825616 Jul  8  2002 /vmunix.orig

    How can I solve this problem? I will very much appreciate for a fast

    suggestion.

   Regards,
   Kumar
