There's a find command you can run to fix these. It's in the archives.
The raw form would be 'find / -exec touch {} \;'. This will set the
timestamp on all files to current. This is _not_ quite how you
want to do it, but close. There's an atime or ctime or mtime
constraint you want to put in there to only tweak the files with
the bad timestamp. Obviously, you'd only run this after the date command
returned the current time, and as root. Can someone with the rest of
this chime in?
thanx,
