>Description:

	The etc/namedb/make-localhost command generates the DNS
	serial number as YYMMDD. In the year 2000, this will be
	generated as 1YYMMDD. (which will still work, but may be
	unexpected).

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
	I'd suggest changing the generated serial number to
	YYYYMMDD format.
