At 2:00 am on Sunday 31st. January where I live the clocks went back 1 hour from daylight saving time to AEST. My Linux box still remains blissfully unaware of this irrelevant little fact and regardless of how many times I set the clock back 1 hour, it very kindly sets the clock back to the wrong time on every restart. I have an old stand-alone Win98SE box, which I started up on Sunday 31st. January and it very politely reminded me of the time change and asked me to confirm that this was correct. No doubt this question has been asked and answered n number of times before, but can somebody tell me how I get this *%(^@!\ stupid Linux box to remember the correct time. Please don't tell me that Linux isn't capable of a task that windo$e seems to perform with such ease. TIA Dave

Dave There is probably an easier way but try reset the clock in your BIOS Hope this works cheers
Dave, Have you checked your timezone settings? If they are correct you also need to remember that your system time must be set to GMT in order for Linux to correctly do the automatic time change things. You should also remember that the system clock and the hardware clock are two diffrent entities in linux and that the hardware clock should be updated before you reboot your computer if you would like your system clock to reflect any changes after the reboot. If none of this information helps, I am sorry but I am out of ideas. Austin On Wed, Apr 03, 2002 at 09:39:46PM -0700, rev rob wrote:
