Here the system changed the time but I just noticed after a rather long
time between reboots that with the reboot the time had reset itself back.
My laptop never changed and its the same setup. It seems that linux
should be able to manage PST8PDT correctly. How does one manage it so that
the clock command never has to be used? I have the correct value in
rc.config but the cmos clock is not changed after the next reboot.
Thanks.
