Patch Name: PHCO_14202 Patch Description: s300_400 9.10 Changes so shar(1) works past year 2000 Creation Date: 98/02/19 Post Date: 98/02/20 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s300_400: 9.10 Products: N/A Filesets: CMDS-AUX Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s300_400/9.X/PHCO_14202 Symptoms: PHCO_14202: shar(1) When using shar -m the shar file contains touch commands with the year embedded as a three digit year for years 2000 and beyond. This will create additional files with the same name as the date/time string and the access and modification times will be incorrect on the source files that were shar'ed. Defect Description: PHCO_14202: A tm_year field was used for the year field, this is three digits for the years 2000 and beyond. Note: Shar -m uses the touch compatibility mode for preserving the access and modification times. The system where the shar file is extracted should have a version of touch that recognizes 00-68 as representing the years 2000-2068.
