ok, thankx i figured it out my next question is, how do i set up ssh on my slink box? i looked through all the dselect pachages and couldn't find anything. also, how do i change the time on my box? - Original Message - From: Andrei Ivanov [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Beavis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: debian list debian-user@lists.debian.org; recipient list not shown: ; Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 4:04 PM Subject: Re: error message Where was the exim before?

Ivanov It can actually be a bit more complex than that You have two (2) clocks: the hardware (CMOS) clock, and the system (software) clock. The hardware clock remembers the time even when the computer is turned off. When the computer is turned on, Linux first reads the hardware clock and then sets the software clock accordingly. If you have a Linux-only system, you probably want to set the hardware clock to UTC time. If you have a dual-boot system (Windows and Linux), you probably want to set the hardware clock to local time. The command Andrei gave above sets the system clock according to your (the sysadmin's) preference rather than letting the system get the time from the hardware clock. Next time you restart the system, the system will again read the hardware clock and set the system clock according to it. This does not necessarily mean the two clocks are set to the same time, because there's a third component in the mix also: the time zone setting. When Linux boots up, it reads the hardware clock, and it reads the time zone setting in your Linux system, calculates the local time according to those two things, and then sets the system clock with the result. So Andrei's suggestion will set the clock for you, but it may not take care of future boots. You also need to set the hardware clock, either via your computer's CMOS setup program - usually DEL or F1 or Ctrl-Alt-ESC during the PowerOnSelfTest (POST) or via the hwclock command. Once your hardware clock is set correctly, then you need to make sure the time zone setting is correct (with tzconfig) so that on bootup Linux can set the system clock to the correct local time. So you have three steps: 1) Set the CMOS (hardware) clock (by rebooting and entering the CMOS setup or by using hwclock) 1a) set the system clock with Andrei's suggestion above 1b) set the hardware clock with hwclock --systohc which copies the system time to the hardware clock 2) Tell Linux which timezone you're in (with tzconfig). 3) Tell Linux whether the hardware clock is set to local time or UTC (set UTC=yes or UTC=no in /etc/defaults/rcS). Next time you reboot the startup files will read the hardware clock and then set the software clock, adjusting for timezones accordingly.
Re: Fw: error message
if i want to change the time to Wed Mar 8 6:16:00 PST 2000--what do i do? In order to keep proper time you need to make sure /etc/default/rcS has the correct settings, /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh has been tweaked to your liking, and you've run tzconfig. Except for the tweaking of hwclock.sh, this should all have been done when the system was installed. To actually set the time, try:date --set=Wed Mar 8 6:16:00 PST 2000 thenhwclock --systohc # if the hw clock runs standard time or hwclock --utc --systohc # if the hw clock runs GMT The above commands will set the system (software) clock to the time you specify and the hardware clock from the system clock. This is usually what you want to do when the time is really messed up, in which case you should also execute: rm /etc/adjtime and echo 0.0 0 0.0 /etc/adjtime if you have been using the --adjust feature of hwclock. If you are making a minor adjustment then use the 'date --set=...' (or equiv.) command, and let the system look after the hw clock automatically when you reboot. - Bruce
