[cobalt-security] April fools day?



Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Strange thing happened this morning at around 5am - monitors reported that my RAQ4 was not available for a short time. When I checked the logs, the date had changed from April 1st 2003 to June 5th 2005.

Apr  1 04:45:07 ns proftpd[24521]: ns.mydomain.net (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed. 
Jun  5 20:37:43 ns syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

...then later (when the clock thought it was 5am again) it changed again???

...annoyingly, this makes a mess of the timestamps, stops cron working etc.
chkrootkit says everything is clear - and otherwise the server seems fine.
Any ideas anyone?
