TimeStamp problem

[Hr. G. Dirkzwager]

Hello,

i have a strange problem. When i connect to an unix server (hpux 11.11 installed) with internet explorer (version 6) and i browse to a certain file he gives me a date of 2004! When i look on the unix server to the same file the date is 2005. When i connect through ftp with mozilla firefox i also get a correct date! Is this a patch problem or is this a windows related problem?

How exactly you connect tp hp-ux?? Through apache?? If yes, is it set to use server time??

You have to ask if windoze is a related problem?

On your unix box record the following timestamps, then compare to what windoze returns and thats what IE is using:

[root@vpart1 /opt]# ls -l testfile
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0 Jan 18 09:08 testfile
[root@vpart1 /opt]# ls -lu testfile
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0 Jan 18 10:11 testfile
[root@vpart1 /opt]# ls -lc testfile
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0 Jan 18 09:43 testfile
[root@vpart1 /opt]#

to create testfile with different dates use the command touch.

I connect to the hpux with ftp://hostname in a browser but the hpux server is not running apache. I use the ftp daemon which is configured in the inetd.conf

If you are using MicroSlop WinBloz, this is the problem.

Hello,

I think the problem is related to LANG environment variable setting for the startup of you HP-UX system. This located at /etc/rc.config.d/LANG.

If LANG is set to some locale other than C, inetd will start with it and ftpd will follow leading to the problem you are facing.

The long term solution is to comment out the LANG variable in /etc/rc.config.d/LANG for the next reboot.

Meanwhile you do not need a rebbot, you can just try :

#inetd -k

#env LANG=C inetd -l


I hope this helps
