The problem with /dev/rtc on Dell machines will cause an erroneous assumption about the current time in the scripts /etc/init.d/hwclock*. To fix that, add the line
HWCLOCKPARS=--directisa to /etc/default/rcS. Make sure that every invokation of hwclock in /etc/init.d/hwclock* contains $HWCLOCKPARS. Without the above fix, the hwclock* scripts will assume that the system time was updated from the hardware clock and that the hardware clock is UTC-based. Then the scripts will apply a timezone shift. This will make the current system time shifted incorrectly. -- Ilguiz Latypov programmer at DiskStream Waterloo, Ontario, Canada -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
