Disabling 'date' Prompt in SysV/AT--SUMMARY

[Tim Evans]

Thanks to all who responded to my request for help in disabling the
prompt for confirmation of the date at bootup time in SysV/AT.  

Everyone had basically the same suggestion, which was to work around the
shell script /etc/bsetdate.  The idea is to just extract the date from
the CMOS clock, without being prompted to confirm it.  Best suggestion
is simply to comment out everything in /etc/bsetdate EXCEPT for the 
line which gets the date from CMOS:

	date `/etc/setup -d`

John Plocher at uport has asked for a poll of whether they should 
continue with this prompt or just go ahead with bootup.  (Send him
your vote via e-mail.)  My vote was to straddle the fence by continuing
with the prompt, but building in a timeout so that an unattended system
(which was my original problem) can bootup on its own after a power
interruption--EVEN if the date is wrong.
