[mdlug] Can the date stamp on a file be ahead of the clock

[R. Kannan]

Hi,

I am seeing a puzzling behavior in a linux machine at work. See the series of commands and the responses below


kez at vision->uname -a
Linux vision 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp #1 SMP Mon Jul 3 18:25:39 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
kez at vision->touch tt1
kez at vision->ls -l tt1
-rw-r--r-- 1 kez hks 0 2007-09-06 14:49 tt1
kez at vision->date
Thu Sep  6 14:42:16 EDT 2007

How could this be? I did not think this was possible...

TIA for any pointers
