I don't know what I did the last time I went to adjust my machine's clock, but it seems Linux no longer talks nice to the hardware clock. Every time I boot, the clock is off by 7 hours, and for my setup thats usually once a day (no fault of Linux, I just have to shut this off at night).
The system is RH 7.3, and the contents of /etc/sysconfig/clock are ZONE="America/Los_Angeles" UTC=false ARC=false I keep the hardware clock in local time because I dual-boot to other OS-es once in a while. Here's what it looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] rc.d]# /sbin/hwclock -r Fri 15 Aug 2003 07:53:56 AM PDT 0.849306 seconds [EMAIL PROTECTED] rc.d]# /sbin/hwclock -r --localtime Fri 15 Aug 2003 07:54:12 AM PDT 0.268908 seconds [EMAIL PROTECTED] rc.d]# /sbin/hwclock -r --utc Fri 15 Aug 2003 12:54:18 AM PDT 0.280746 seconds [EMAIL PROTECTED] rc.d]# However, on each reboot KDE's clock in the panel, and the 'date' program both report time as if I used UTC; in the above example that was 12:54 AM. I'm baffled and sleepless in California..... ++ kevin _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
