you sure about that?

brain is a little cloudy right now, and recall is not supplying file
names, but linux and unix use their own time keeping routine.

routine counts from 'day 1' and iirc, there are 2 or 3 files, in /etc,
that are used to make corrections to the time keeping routine. one of
them is name 'adjtime'. do not recall others.
