I store GMT in my system clock, which means that the time in windows is out by 12 hours or so. this doesn't bother me...i don't run any date specific apps under Win. However, now and then Windows manages to figure out that the time is off by 12 hours or so and changes the clock, which means Linux suddenly jumps to be out by 12 hours or so. This does bother me, because I run lots of date-specific apps under Linux. here's my delimma: I never connect to the Internet under Windows. How does windows know the right time to change the clock? tim http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~tnw13 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBPdwAcgccL5A6x/wfEQKxNQCg2jjmETavr4ZGFt7sMO4gc3EaC1YAnRPm 2U6/mAcEa/pbxlEJgEoTqs+O =sgbj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
