Setting the Date

[Gregory J.Neumann]

Have you tried hwclock?  I'm not sure at all if I use it right, even 
though the man page is pretty impressive and complete.  Usually, I 
specify the time during the distro installation and don't need to do 
anything after that.  But I have used:

# hwclock --hctosys

to set the system time from the "hardware (BIOS?) clock" to the "system 
clock".  Notice that the "hardware clock" is different from the "system 
clock", so it is not at all abnormal, or even unusual for there to be a 
difference if the system is running for any length of time (say 24 hrs or 
more).  The whole clock thing makes me want to get access to a 
time-server, run ntp and be done w/ it! ;-)

Regards,
Greg Neumann
