Hi Brian, Look at the manpage for hwclock. You will need to run it in order to synchronize your hardware clock with Linux's idea of what the time is. You probably need to enter either hwclock --systohc if your clock is set to your local time, or hwclock --systohc --utc if your clock is set to GMT. hth -- Michael Gorse / AIM:linvortex / http://mgorse.home.dhs.org -- On Fri, 10 May 2002, Brian Tew wrote: > My date command is one hour behind. > It says mdt, the correct zone, but it's behind by one hour. > I reset it, but when I rebooted, it went back. > What is probably wrong? > Still using redhat 5.2, but not for long. > Thanks. >
