If you dual-boot into Windows you must set your Linux time to "localtime" not UTC to keep accurate machine time between Windows and Linux boots. I had changed to UTC under SuSE 8.1 and time was always wrong after having booted to Windows (98, 98SE, Win2K). Deleting the /etc/adjtime worked only for a login session. Once I reset SuSE 8.1 to "localtime" its been rock solid under both OSes. Stan wolfi wrote:

Hi Carlos,
Basically, this is a point, but as far as I have seen, windoze only changes time by one hour. And then your clock is wrong by one hour, and that's it. If you get total crap in your system time, there must be something more weired going on (I assume). Windoze can't write to your /etc/adjust file.
