I am having a problem with my system time. On boot-up it is fine. After about 12 hrs it bears no relationship to actual time. if left long enough > 24hrs say, it *may* come back into line with the system clock and then go back out of synch during the night. A reboot sorts it back to actual time, but next morning say it will be a mile out (not minutes but hours). Otherwise the system is working fine but it is not too handy for timestamps on files / emails etc. Windows on the same m/c stays on the correct time so I don't think it is the m/c. I am using SuSe 6.1 on a Pentium 2 (266 Mhz). Is this a known problem with 6.1 or have I missed something in my install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to leave your account open, rather than logoff (into kdm, i.e., login manager). Then, your clock will stay sync... it's annoying, but it's not SuSE related, this also happens on a RH machine that I work on from time to time. Anyone knows a fix for this? What do the experts say?

Many thanks for your reply / suggestion, but the symptoms I was describing are with my account *open*. I have tried it with different accounts, including root - same thing happens. have I mis-configured something? Everything else appears to be working ok. On 28 Feb 2000, at 11:26, Alvaro A.
