... especially hwclock ... the very latest version runs (at least as far as I can see) much better than the one before ... As far as I can see: The latest hwclock sets my Linux (system)clock automatically at boot-up time according to the drift factor of my Hardware clock ... I was fed up with possible dependency problems for a new util-linux.rpm (hwclock is part of util-linux.rpm) and tried this: I loaded down the latest hwclock tarball (hwclock-2.14.tgz), build it on Redhat 6.2 and simply replaced there the old hwclock excutable and the old 'man hwclock' from the util-linux.rpm with the newly built corresponding parts (check the hwclock README) ... have a good *new* hwclock now in an relatively old util-linux.rpm .. hwclock's not perfect, but it seems to be much better now here than the previous one. This hwclock install perhaps is not very standard, but it seems to work not badly :) Wolfgang -- http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/w3m.html -- END TRANSMISSION -- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
