There is an option to hwclock that tells it to set the bios clock to localtime, rather than UTC. You have to make sure that you change it where the system pulls from the bios clock, too. Kind of a pain but not too terribly bad.<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>Bob<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Cyber Source <peter@thecybersource.com><br>To: nflug@nflug.org<br>Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 1:55:18 PM<br>Subject: [nflug] strange time problem<br><br><div>Hello all,<br> If I set the date in my Linux system with "date
07210700" I set it to <br>7am today. I have the correct edt setting, /etc/timezone reads <br>"America/New_York", however the bios time is always 4 hours different. <br>Even if I set "hwclock --systohc", it's still a 4 hour difference. <br>Normally I wouldn't care if the bios time is off but this is a dual boot <br>and windows reads the bios clock and is then wrong. Any ideas on this? I <br>played with the utc setting but don't think it did anything, even so, <br>wouldn't utc make it a 6 hour difference?
