I also just recently noticed my system clock is WAY off! I have tried the suggestions mentioned on this list, so far, as well as whatever I could find on google. This includes "rm /etc/adjtime" followed by resetting the hardware clock. I have tried setting the system clock from the hardware clock and vise versa. There appears to be nothing wrong with my hardware clock;
"hwclock" outputs following (correct) time: Wed Feb 4 22:02:10 2004 -0.288672 seconds "cat /etc/adjtime" outputs: 0.129944 1075822593 0.000000 1075822593 LOCAL "date" outputs: Wed Feb 4 20:40:38 JST 2004 I have the time set to local because I have a dual-boot with winXP. The system clock loses time really fast. I can set it correctly before going to work, come back, and it's behind an hour! This is a pretty big problem. I would appreciate any help. I could sync with a time server, but I shouldn't *have* to. Thanks. Roy Kidder wrote: > First (as root), set your system time properly. I'd use ntp if it'a an > option, or you could use "date -s".
