I must be missing something obvious, but I'm at my wits end. My hardware clock (in BIOS) is set to local time. When system boots up, it says "Setting clock (localtime) : Correct_date Correct_time *PST*. (I live on the west coast in US). "hwclock -r --localtime" shows correct time, and "date" shows correct time (PST).
They system runs for an hour or so. I type "date" on command line. It shows an exact integer difference of 9 hours behind the hwclock, i.e "date" gives hwclock time-9 hours *PST*. I look at my logs, and it doesn't say anything about the system time being reset. I use linuxconf, MCC, and hwclock to change system clock back to correct hwclock time, but this pattern repeats itself. If I don't change the sytem time, on subsequent reboot, rc.sysinit says "Setting clock (localtime): bad_date bad_time *UTC*." I've even tried deleting /etc/adjtime, but this doesn't work either. What's going on here and how do I go about solving this? (And please don't suggest NTP!) Thanks, Mark /etc/sysconfig/clock: ARC=false UTC=false ZONE=US/Pacific diff /etc/localtime==/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific==/usr/share/zoneinfo/SystemV/PDT8PST I'm using MDK 8.0, with latest official updates (kernel-2.4.8-31.2mdk and glibc-2.2.2-6.1mdk) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
