[SunHELP] Copying Files with date before 1.1.1970

[Michael Karl]

Hi,

I've a Solaris7-Server (over 560gb of files) with some files/directories
(only 2-5.000 :-(?) which have a wrong creation-date. (From 1904 to 1968).
(I saw files created by Adobe Illustrator 9 in 1962 - whoooow!)

This Solaris7-Machine is a Helios-EtherShare/PCShare-Server. The corrupt
creation-date-files are from Mac- and PC-Clients.

Now, I must transfer these 560gb to a new Solaris8-Server.
Every Mac-/PC-Client-, Solaris7 -> Solaris8-access (ftp, cpio, cp, rcp,
ufsdump, copying via Helios EtherShare or PCShare etc.) doesn't copy
these files/directories with creation-date before 1.1.1970 (the birthday
of unix-time).

I'm thinking Solaris 7 has a bug, which accept these wrong creation-dates.
But Solaris 8 didn't have this bug anymore. What should I do ?

There are some tools to modify the creation-date ... but that's a
really stupid job ... modifying each files/directory ...

Any hints ?

Thanx Michael
