This doesn't make sense. If your local time isn't UTC/GMT, then you can't sync them - the localtime is _defined_ as an offset from GMT/UTC (I know I know, there's a difference between UTC & GMT ...) What exactly do you really mean? You want the hardware clock to reflect local time? This is a bad idea, because it makes the summertime transitions much harder and confuses the issue of remote logins. However, if you're dual-booting to another operating system which insists on storing localtime in the BIOS clock (in which case, why is this on debian-isp?) then try the --localclock option to /sbin/hwclock as documented in the manual-page. I've never tried this, so can't comment. -- HTML email - just say no --> Phil Pennock "We've got a patent on the conquering of a country through the use of force.
