Sean,

That did the trick! Thanks very much, I have to say this sort of response knocks
the socks off other support channels :-)

Cheers,

I use the following in my crotab:
0 * * * * /usr/sbin/netdate rohan.sdsu.edu
1 * * * * /sbin/hwclock --systohc

The first sets the system clock every hour, the second sets the Hardware
clock to that of the software clock.
