Hey Group;
Has SuSE been screwing around with the UTC and localtime again. Around SuSE 6 or 7 they had a problem which caused the clock to be set wrong every time you booted up again. If you set it with netdate or something and then shut it down. When you booted back up it was 6 hours off. It is 10:06PM (22:06) here right now. But the KDE clock is showing 19:36. I have since the last setting the time turned this machine off and back on several time.
I have forgotten what I did to fix it!

I always set mine to localtime and use xntpd to keep it straight. Rarely have a problem.
