Hi I have had similar problems until I got it sorted (or hope that I have). The first point is that the hardware and system time must be set by the root user. In yast2 this is done through the menu bar: YaST2 modules -> System -> select timezone this is also available through the full YaST2. I set the hardware clock to GMT and the timezone to "Europe/United_Kingdom", mainly because that is where I am ;) While on the subject, I use an ntp server to maintain the time setting on my Linux systems. My main server machine calls the ntp server at Demon internet, one of the ISPs that I use, on a daily cron. All my workstations then synch. to that machine. The Linux utility for this is "netdate" and it must be run as root, I use a utility in the Chameleon suite for the windoze boxes. BTW does anyone know of an openly available ntp server in the UK?
