Re: FW: FTP RCMD Date Weirdness

This may be a Y2K variant.
Some software uses the SYSTEM date which is continually updated.
Some software uses the SESSION date based on the DAY that some session signed 
onto the system.
If that physical device is left signed on overnight, it MAY have the previous 
day's date.
I have noticed that some PC have some slippage of time & the users do not 
bother to correct the time, so that over time the slippage can move from 
minutes or hours off to days off.
Some software running on PCs use the date in the PC instead of the date in 
the network.
Depending on whether you using PC or twinax session that has yesterday date 
or whether you using device that has same date as system & depending on where 
the software ultimarely gets the date - from job or whatever, you could run 
the same job from two different locations & get two different date results.
