I can't imagine what's wrong Aaron. Anything like Linuxconf or
'timetool', is just gonna use 'hwclock' to set the system/bios
time. Anyhow, try again
connect, then run the rdate command to a time server. Now, if
the system time is correct, run hwclock --systohc (as root) which
should set your hardware clock in bios to the time you just
corrected in software (system). If this doesn't work, you've got
somethin amiss in hardware/bios.
Last resort: reboot the system and enter bios, set the correct
time there. If this still doesn't work, the next thing would be to
replace the battery on the motherboard. If this doesn't work, and
you can't live with the wrong time... replace the motherboard.
Always buy the best motherboard you can find, break the piggy
bank. Nothing in your system will work better than the motherboard
will let it or help it to.
