I have sort of solved my problem, but not completely. My link to my time zone at /etc/localtime had disappeared, when I re did that and deleted /etc/adjtime my system was back to normal. After rebooting again today, however again the /etc/localtime link had disappeared. Any suggestions as to why this keeps getting deleted? Is there anyway to track what program is deleting it? Thanks I am very close. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
