It gets the time, then updates the BIOS clock, too. One of my machines loses five seconds per day, which over time, really adds up.
Are there any security issues about this to be concerned about? I was thinking about using your script unchanged, (unless tehre is some reason not to) since I don't know a thing about this, and am too lazy to find out. Thanks.. Faheem Mitha.
