I had to set the time manually to adjust for the 1 hour shift. I guess you mean that in this timezone there was recently a shift due to daylight saving time? Shouldn't this be automatic? This question was recently discussed in the German forums. Here is a summary: Since you have CLOCK=local this can only be automatic if your computer was running during the shift - when you start your computer after the shift, Linux will consider the hardware clock as the correct (already shifted) time information. If the shift happened with your setting although your computer was not running, another program (typically: windows) has done the shifting. Only if you run CLOCK=UTC the shift is guaranteed to work in any case (of course, unless another program like windows interferes). BTW: In case you use FAT, you might also want to consider the solution proposed in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-579915.html (which will make your hardwareclock also run with a constant offset to utc i.e. the shift will also work reliable, but windows will display the wrong time half of the year. However, the advantage is that filestamps on FAT partitions will never change.) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
