Subject:   date on schg files changing, how?

On a machine running 2.2.6 from the CD, I see the following type of
thing regularly:

Differences in special files:
28c28
< -r-sr-xr-x  5 root  bin     schg 286720 Jul  9 00:00:27 1998 /usr/sbin/sendmail
---
> -r-sr-xr-x  5 root  bin     schg 286720 Jul 11 00:00:03 1998 /usr/sbin/sendmail

This file has the schg flag, and the machine is running at securelevel
2 so nothing about this file should be able to be changed.

Doing an md5 or checksum on the file says it has not actually
changed, just the date.

What is causing the date to change?

Kenneth
