There is something the hwclock man page probably isn't mentioning. Else why does /var/log/boot look so odd: What time does the first part of your /var/log/boot show? For me it is not the time one sees in the BIOS SETUP screens, before boot. Does Debian have some other time, ahead of all timezones in the world, plus a safety margin, for machine initialization, but not documented on the hwclock man page?

Local time: Mon Aug 8 03:46:44 CST 2005 #(CST: Central China standard time) It seems that the hwclock man page says that the computer's BIOS SETUP screen clock is the Hardware Clock, but I'm not sure. Why is hwclock is not local time and not UTC, but local time + 8 hours, UTC + 16 hours? I am in Taiwan and my BIOS SETUP screen clock is in local time. My computer runs fine, only problem is that /var/log/boot looks weird. + date --rfc-2822 Mon, 08 Aug 2005 04:16:39 +0800 + date --rfc-2822 --utc Sun, 07 Aug 2005 20:16:39 +0000 + hwclock --show Mon Aug 8 04:16:40 2005 -0.371594 seconds + hwclock --show --utc Mon Aug 8 12:16:41 2005 -0.997240 seconds -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
