I've also put up on my FTP web site a version of hwclock that allows setting
the date now on systems with broken CMOS clocks (that do not have the RTC
module in their kernels).
(Note that a single use of the century program, also on the FTP site,
makes all this bother unnecessary.)
I've put up the compiled hwclock for those that are trusting. For others,
I've put up util-linux-2.8-11.src.rpm, which is the RH5.2 broken hwclock,
and hwclock.c, which has the fixed hwclock.c that you need to copy to the
sys-utils directory and then issue the command "make hwclock".
I've also put up on the FTP site hwclock.c.broken.
