PBO "date modified" on files

[Yeff]

When downloading through the BT on the PBO, all the files have a modified date of 1969 or 1970 which causes some problems... any idea where to go to set the date on the PBO to avoid this? Thanks!

Your PBO can save the date/time

I have never tried the interface before. I can set it up via telnet but it wont survive reboot (or even standby).

The problem seems in a messed up hardware clock.

/ # date -s 2010.01.25-15:00
Mon Jan 25 15:00:00 CST 2010
/ # hwclock -r
Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 1969  0.000000 seconds
/ # hwclock -w
/ # hwclock -r
Fri Oct 25 04:04:02 2002  0.000000 seconds
/ # hwclock -w
/ # hwclock -r
Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 1969  0.000000 seconds
/ # hwclock -w
/ # hwclock -r
Sun Jan 14 10:10:05 2007  0.000000 seconds
/ # date
Mon Jan 25 15:05:22 CST 2010
/ #

so if you are having your PBO running 24/7 then setting time using date command should serve you fine
