Date reset

[crasho2001]

At Sun Fire v440 system, time reset occured suddenly. Date was 1.1.1970.

Have you seen this behaviour before? What can be the problem?

Check your dmesg or /var/adm/messages fro any eeprom errors, with the system time not software

Run date -u mmddyyhhmm,

or rdate "remote host" to update time,

watch fro the time change

I've seen this in a v420 a few years back. It was a bad prom. I had to call Sun to replace it.

I agree with spamly, have also seen this with failing nvram/idprom.
