Actually:
- set up the clock.
To local or UTC time?
To whatever time your clock uses. For instance, if I do (as root):
nimrodel:~ # date Fri Mar 16 20:00:02 CET 2007
then I would use "CET" time. However, the "date" syntax allows me to use any timezone I want.
- check and reset time zone with yast. - ensure clock is correct running "date" as root. - delete /etc/adjtime
When is this file created? Who makes it?
By the script "/etc/init.d/boot.clock" on boot and shutdown. It is read on boot, and updated un shutdown. Deleting it forces a reset.
This file serves to compensate the hardware (cmos) clock for drift. If the drift is very wrong, your clock will be set very wrong on next boot.
Do you know how drift is computed? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
