Hello

After throwing away a new motherboard and replacing it with one that is Y2000 compliant I have found that the system clock still wanders around between days and hours.

SuSE 5.2 had a program to correct this problem. Can anyone remember the name of the file or program ? I have several 5.2 CDs but can't think which file I should use.

I have a very old computer and I set up a cron job so at midnight, it gets the correct time from and ntp server (using the package xntp), and the runs the command hwclock --systohc . Here's the script: #!/bin/bash /usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp1.cornell.edu > /dev/null hwclock --systohc -- George Toft http://gtoft.dynip.com Hawaii Pacific University MSIS Graduate Student "Investigating the Relationship Between the Total Cost of Ownership, Organization Size, Industry, Workgroup Size, And the Perception of Value for Workgroup Servers." -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
