Hi,

I seem to have broken the time on my system in some way. Here's the
thing: A couple of days ago I used 'timetool' to change the date back to
March to check that a Perl script I was writing did what it was supposed
to in that month (it did). On setting the time back to the present
however, I seem to have run into a problem. The time keeps changing itself
to 10 hours ago everytime the machine is rebooted, or at midnight if it's
left running (I think). Looks to me that I've somehow set it to use GMT or
something like that, but I can't work out how to change it back. 'clock'
gives the correct time, but 'date' gives the wrong one, until I reset it
again - but this resetting doesn't last. Running Mandrake 7.1. Anybody
have any thoughts on what's up here? (As I said - looks to me that it's
set to believe the hardware clock is set to GMT and Linux is adjusting
back from that or something, so where is this set?)

TIA, Tom
