Description Need Real Name 2000-10-21 08:27:26 UTC 
Every time when I try to set the parameters (IP-address, NIC module, 
netmask etc) to work with the 3Com 3C509 NIC with Gnome linuxconf I get 
the following message two times in a row:

"The file /etc/sysconfig/mouse has a revision date in the future. This 
probably means that your system time is wrong or has been wrong at some 
point."
After selecting OK on both fault messages the Gnome session manager 
crashes due to a fatal error (segmentation fault) and I've to reboot the 
system or login again. After rebooting the NIC isn't recognized.
BTW the error message text contains faults: "as a revision date" and "as 
been wrong at some"
Comment 1 Need Real Name 2000-10-21 08:31:42 UTC 
The mouse hangs after the two messages are generated and if I've selected them 
with an "OK" confirmation.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2004-03-29 20:29:59 UTC 
guess it's time to close these old reports off now?
