The file /etc/bsetdate is called from /etc/inittab at boot time.
if you put an "exit" statement right after the "date `setup -d`" line
the date will be set to whatever the CMOS thinks it is, without
asking you if this is *really* correct.

Quick poll, email ONLY:
   What should the default be, to prompt or not to prompt?
