| 10 | Statement: |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | The LPRng software has no known Year 2000 data dependencies. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | Where necessary, dates are generated using values relative to |
|---|
| 15 | the UNIX Epoch, and will be consistent to 2034 at a conservative |
|---|
| 16 | estimate. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | However, since LPRng uses the RFC1179 standard for job and data file |
|---|
| 19 | transfer, and other systems provide information in a form which may |
|---|
| 20 | not be consistent, the LPRng author takes no reponsibility for other |
|---|
| 21 | defective implementations and the effects of using these defective |
|---|
| 22 | implementations with LPRng. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | Testing has been done on the following systems: |
|---|
| 25 | 1. BSDI UNIX, Version 3.0/3.1 (May 1998) |
|---|
| 26 | 2. FreeBSD 2.5 (July 1998) |
|---|
| 27 | 3. Red Hat Linux 5.1 (July 1998) |
|---|
| 28 | 4. Solaris 2.6 (Intel and Sparc Versions) (May 1998) |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | There were no observed problems with date formats using the LPRng |
|---|
| 31 | software in toto. The software was NOT tested with the native LPD |
|---|
| 32 | or LP (system V) print spoolers. |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | Note: logging and other operations generate textual timestamps in |
|---|
| 35 | either a short (hh:mm) or extended (yyyy-mm-dd-hh:mm:ss) format. |
|---|
| 36 | The choice of short of extended formats is controlled by a simple |
|---|
| 37 | configuration option. |
