I think I'm running NS3.2, but don't know my way around this machine yet. Do I need a patch/update? Am I doing something wrong? When I try to set todays date, then click on SET, the date returns to it's old setting. Tried a search here but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

Yup. You need to upgrade to at least NeXTSTEP 3.3 Patch 2 (or OPENSTEP 4.2 Patch 4) due to Y2k problems.
Thanks, I'll see if I can find them.
Um, what does the UNIX 'date' command give you from a shell in a 'Terminal' window? Do a 'man date' to get the details on the command.
Try setting it repetitively, starting at Dec. 31, 1999 23:59:59 and going to Dec. 31 23:59:59 through the years up until it turns over to 2007 (i.e., only set the year once, then only use the month, day, hour, min, sec for the rest). Then just set the month, day, hour, min, & sec. for today.
You do have a good battery in the machine, right?
*bump*
My cube stubbornly stays in 2004 (so not a Y2K issue) no matter what I do, set the date from the prefs panel as root, use ntp (ntp gets the date but then it can't change the date on the hardware). Is there any way to fix this?
