I can't comment on what VirtualBox does, nor what Windows 7 does, but here is my experience. My hardware was set to UTC time. My system time was set to local time CDT. But until UTC was checked in the system-config-date GUI, nether cups printer browsing would work nor would ntpd stay running. -- ======================================================================= In case of fire, stand in the hall and shout "Fire!" -- The Kidner Report ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
