Hi, Scott. You can either set the clock in the BIOS manually, or sync the time automatically at boot-time via xnptd. This can either be done from a script in /etc/init.d or you can even run it at regular intervals as a kron job. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Howell" <showell@xxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2002 11:07 AM Subject: Re: uct VS. local time in slackware > Was curious, do you not then set the bios clock to UTC? > > > On Sun, Aug 25, 2002 at 06:22:53AM -0500, Adam Myrow wrote: > The way it > works is that when you select UTC, Slackware writes a file in > /etc > called localtime containing the word "UTC."
