Snip Well I have zeroed the /etc/adjtime and made sure the last line was set to localtime before I shutdown this machine.
I set the time with "netdate navobs1.wustl.edu now.cis.okstate.edu" and then ran "/sbin/hwclock --adjust --localtime ; hwclock --systohc"
I just got home and fired this system up and the time/date is 22:02 PM 12/04/2003. However, "date" shows Thu Dec 4 16:02:12 CST 2003.
I just ran both of the above commands and now the time is Thu Dec 4 22:04:39 CST 2003
It is a screwed up /etc/init.d file that is causing the problem. /etc/adjtime and/or /etc/localtime is the result of the headache. This only happens at bootup so it must be a boot script problem.
Something like "date -u" would cause the problem because it is 6 hours wrong every boot time. So, reboot in one day 4 times and the DAY will even be wrong.
I just rebooted and the time comes up allright. I'm waiting if Carlos E R will send me some info about the email he wrote before I do anything else. BTW do you get a message ( when you start up) like , couldn't start clock, segmentation fault, FAILED? Because that is what I'm getting. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.
