wide spread y2k lossage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Some servers (e.g typhoon) have moved over to use yyyymmdd format for
newnews/newgroups. typhoon is broken using yymmdd. several newsreaders
are sending 100mmdd, or correctly sending yymmdd. It's all round
lossage. nntpcache doesn't massage the date communicated between
client and server for newnews or back again, although it does for
newgroups (and prevents some y2k brokeness in that manner). list
ACTIVE.TIMES output and intepretation may also be broken on a number
of newsservers / readers.

Anyone else see any variation on this theme?
