Hi all, Anthony brought up the subject of time/date being wrong on his mails, but my problem is somewhat different. This seems to be a problem that goes back to the 7.1 days! Each time I boot up, the system clock has the wrong time and requires resetting. The bios clock is correct as I have checked that already. Going back to a previous mail when the problem showed up back in October 2001, it seems to be a bug in the /etc/rc.d/boot script which will cause the system clock to NOT be set to the hardware clock on boot. The bug has been around for quite some time it seems. The problem was simple in that adding the full path to the hwclock command solved the problem. The solution was to change the CLOCKCMD=hwclock in /etc/rc.d/boot file to CLOCKCMD=/sbin/hwclock and for good measure also adding /sbin/hwclock --hctosys in the /etc/rc.d/boot.local file! First of all, I don't have the CLOCKCMD in my boot script any longer in Suse 8. Is that now located somewhere else or not needed? Is there some where else one should look to get the system clock to set to the hardware clock? Would adding just the command to the boot.local script fix the problem? Thanks for all help or suggestions.
