Ah, thanks that would certainly do and as would rdate perform a similar function. I think what I was wondering is if you were wanting to setup your machine in UTC time, I was speculating on whether or not it would be necessary to set the bios clock to UTC as the kernel would get its initial time from here. True you could use rdate or a similiar program to accomplish the same goal...hmmm On Sun, Aug 25, 2002 at 11:34:22AM -0400, Erik Heil wrote: > Hi, Scott. > You can either set the clock in the BIOS manually, or sync the time > automatically at boot-time via xnptd.
