Re: [gentoo-user] file dates on system totally bodged

["Alan E. Davis" <lngndvs@gmail.com>]

I have been seeing a lot of these messages:

 * Some file in '/etc/{conf.d,init.d}' have Modification time in the future!

I post here a list of those files, as I contemplate what to do about this:

# ls -lrt /etc/conf.d

  shows the following with 2020 dates:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   318 Dec 30  2020 net
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   217 Dec 30  2020 local.stop

If I touch these as current, will it hurt anything?
