keeping clocks synced on a dual boot machine
I have a dual boot machine and if I set the Vista clock to the local time then no matter what I do on the fbsd side (via tzsetup) forces fbsd to report local time instead of GMT and vice versa (if fbsd is local then vista is GMT). How can I get them to agree? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can I get them to agree? By using the adjkerntz(8) utility on FreeBSD. I think it is automatically run at startup and then should look for the existence of the file /etc/wall_cmos_clock to determine if the clock is running at local time or UTC. (At least according to the manpage.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Create /etc/wall_cmos_clock, as covered in the manuals for tzsetup(8) and adjkerntz(8). -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
