Remember, don't bite the hand that feeds you :) I've been away from Oxygen development for a while; in the meantime, I developed two Palm apps, heavily updated and modified another, and worked heavily on LCDproc. I'm back at Oxygen development, and have started in on making sure these bugs are fixed. > the Oxygen-090601 date command > is fuxored. It is busybox-0.60.1.

I do not like bugs. Eeeep. I hope I didn't make you mad along the way. > It's date. Not rdate. The date command is broken. > Rdate can't work correctly if it can't get the > system date and time. And xntpd ain't gonna help. Well, yes and no. Rdate shouldn't care what the current time is, it SETS the time. xntpd does the same thing, except it only cares if the time is close to current. Neither use the date command. I'll look at it - maybe the date command (busybox) needs to be fixed. One of the classic (techie/hacker) things to do is read the source. Where does busybox date gets its timezone? I'll be looking there myself. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
