Sometimes it's useful to see the time a zone was updated. Not to downplay the usefulness of such a timestamp, but 1) unix timestamps mean almost nothing to me when *I* look at them and 2) ls -l shows the modification time in human-readable format... :) But hey, the field's size is 32 bits, and our favorite time_t is also 32 bits, so I'd endorse it as another valid option (until January, 2038). I think it'd be kinda neat to just show the last modification time in Webmin, though. While we're on the topic. --Danny |
