Greetings; Linux will set its clock like any well behaved system. If you can and want to you can set up the usual ntp (Network Time Protocol) functions and synchronize your linux machines time to the rest of the world. This requires internet access, which is where the "can" comes in. Or you can get the time from a time server on your lan.
Unfortunately, VM and OS can't do this yet. Unless something has been quietly added in z/VM. I think there is a time server available, but I haven't investigated it. As for the difference between your VM host and the linux guest there are many possibilities. Choose whether to synchronize to VM or to ROW, use a date command to set your linux clock and be happy! ;-) Good Luck!

I thought Linux (SuSE Linux in this case) took the date and time from VM (or from the hardware), but now I realize that on my zVM 4.2 system, CP QUERY TIME is currently about 90 seconds ahead of the results of the Linux "date" command. How can it be? -- * Jean Bedard * VM System Manager S.I.T., Universite Laval * [EMAIL PROTECTED] (418) 656-2131 ext. 4014
