ISC Software and the Year 2000

The Internet Software Consortium software, like other well-designed Unix software, does not suffer from a Year 2000 issue. Unix dates are based around a 32-bit field centered around January 1 00:00:00 1970, with a range from Dec 13, 1901 to January 19, 2038. We therefore anticipate no impact on any of our Unix implementations because of the new millenium.

While the year 2000 (y2k) problem is not an issue for us, all Unix implementations will impacted by the year 2038 (y2.038k) issue. The ISC is committed to working with the industry on this issue and we will have our full plans and strategy posted by the year 2020.
