Odd File Timestamp for /config/big3d/client.crt

This does not seem to be right:

 ls -l /config/big3d/client.crt
-rw------- 1 root root 1358 Jan  1  1970 /config/big3d/client.crt

but there is apparently no problem with it right now. I wonder how this came about.

    That is epoch time:

    I just check that I have the same in my lab unit. If you want to change, just do:

    touch /config/big3d/client.crt

    [root@LABBIGIQ:Active] big3d  ll
total 8
-rw------- 1 root root 1468 Jan  1  1970 client.crt
[root@LABBIGIQ:Active] big3d  touch client.crt
[root@LABBIGIQ:Active] big3d  ll
total 8
-rw------- 1 root root 1468 Oct 21 14:07 client.crt
[root@LABBIGIQ:Active] big3d

    That is just the file timestamp, nothing related with the certificate dates.

    Run this command to get the certificate information:

    openssl x509 -noout -text -in /config/big3d/client.crt
