Hi Greg - Thanks for the reply. I had wondered if this might be network related. The automatic time zone selection is correct, so it seems that communication with the ntp pool is the problem. I could not see on the 'Tweaks' page where to specify a time server, so I did a little digging under the hood. I edited /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver to force the south-america pool and added this file to /opt/.filetool.lst to make the change persistent. So far after several test reboots the time has been set correctly. Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AngloCuencano's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64040 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
