Hi, I have installed SuSE 6.4 on my ThinkPad 390E.I live in India which is 51/2 Hrs East of GMT. I have selected a proper TIMEZONE using Yast2 as Asia/Calcutta. The date/time in BIOS is also correct. When I reboot the system, the time is always 51/2 Hrs ahead of the local time ( Asia/Calcutta). I believe, somewhere I am telling the distribution that the local RTC is set to GMT, and hence the date command is being shifted by 51/2 Hrs, but I am not sure where is that set. Can somebody help me ? It is causing me some anxious moments as I am having problems finding out which files I modified at what time ? Thanks.

Check the GMT setting in rc.config file Go to YAST ->System Administration -> Change Configuration File Look for the GMT most probably it is set with the "-u" option remove that and you should be done Hope this helps -- Togan Muftuoglu

Hwclock is your friend........ hwclock --debug hwclock --show hwclock --test good for working out syntax hwclock --set parameters can be difficult to understand here. Takes a while to learn ? This is what you use to change the clock time. hwclock --hctosys once you've set the clock do this to set the system clock to the same time as the hardware clock. Once you've done the above you should look for an internet based time server. Doesn't matter where it is or what country it's in. Then your clock will be updated by the time server every time you login. Thanks Richard
