Dear Sir:

I have encount a problem about the setting of correct date of IOC.

Host: Intel PentiumII 400 PC, Redhat6.2
IOC: MVME2302 PowerPC card, vxWorks5.3.1

while loading the vxWorks kernel and epics application to IOC. the displayed message is like this:

It seems the IOC can't get the time from Linux Host. what's steps should done to make it correct? Need I set some environment variables?

The time on IOC now is:
->date
Dec 21, 2028 22:18:57.006969513

while the host time is :
$ date
Mon Jul 22 18:57:21 CST 2002

I don't know where did IOC get the date value.

Any suggestion is welcomed.
