Dear Bert,

Some Alphas you can change the date in the console with the "date"
command.  If you type date and the console returns a date, then you can
use this command.  Use help date to get the command format.

The year 2054 date is an artifact of running Tru64, which whacks the
clock every time it boots.

good luck
