G4 Ti
>Description:
After a hard reset of a G4 Ti, the system clock is set back to 1901.
Running ntpdate gets the machine to advance its clock to ~1930. Running ntpdate again advances the clock no further - it is stuck in the mid 20th century.
To get the machine into the 21st century, the clock needs to be set by hand.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reset a G4 Ti.
Boot the machine (it is 1901)
Run ntpdate to a time server.
