1 | Support system dates back to the year 1970 | ||
2 | |||
3 | The system time on Linux can be set back as far as 1970 (the epoch time). | ||
4 | Currently logrotate stops working correctly if the time goes before 1996. | ||
5 | This value (1996) appears to have been hard coded since the code was written | ||
6 | back in 1996. Testing and code analysis shows this can simply be modified | ||
7 | to 1970. | ||
