Expired Passwords

Q.
Today all of our user passwords expired in our eDirectory tree. Each user noticed that after changing their password, the expiration date was set to the year 2036. The days between changes is set to 90 days.
We are running NetWare v5.1 SP2 and eDirectory v8.77d. I have checked to make sure our time did not get changed and for time synchronization errors. I have tried this both under the NetWare Client for Windows NT v4.71 as well as the 4.81 client. Do you know anything about this problem?

Dear Expired: Make sure that you check the time and date on all of your servers in your eDirectory tree. Chances are pretty good that you will find a server that has its year set to 2036. As a precaution, you may want to update the BIOS on that server.
