Rob, checkout my previous message about this - I fixed it by getting rid of /etc/adjtime that was hanging around for whatever reason. Maybe you could try that too. -Garen

Me Too!
Im in New York area, I use yast to set the timezone to new york local time
the clock ends up being 3 hours off
I go into the bios, verify the time, (there isnt a Greenwich mean time in my bios) Linux clock is still 3 hours + off use the hwclock setting suggested by Chris, reboot no difference verify the bios, reboot, no difference use yast to get the timezone to new york, use GMT, reboot, no difference
Use yast to set the tz to Universial ;-) now my clock is only 20 min off....
I plan to adjust this in the bios -20 min
fwiw... the Linux clock worked fine in 6.4 & 5.3
I suspect the data table that yast uses is corrupt of the logic it uses is flawed in other words .... its broke
suggestions??
thanks rob
