    Folks -

    In AIX 5.2, use of the "file" command on a file changes the modification
    time of that file.
    This is causing problems for some of our people operating on 5.2 nodes.

    In AIX 5.1 and lower, it does not.

    Is this a known bug? If so, is there a fix available and can I be pointed
    to where to get it.

    Thanks ahead of time!

    Corey
