Paul, Thank you so much for the tip on setting the hardware clock! I have an old PowerEdge server that has a system password set (which I don't know!) so I couldn't change the date. I had tried the methods in the manual to unset it to no avail. But using the program below I got it right!
For the record here are the steps I used: [root@nephi /root]# hwclock --set --date="12/7/01 10:42:30" [root@nephi /root]# uptime 2:34pm up 44 days, 23:29, 2 users, load average: 0.04, 0.01, 0.00 [root@nephi /root]# hwclock --show Fri 07 Dec 2001 10:42:38 AM EST 0.764047 seconds [root@nephi /root]# hwclock --hctosys [root@nephi /root]# hwclock --show Fri 07 Dec 2001 10:43:40 AM EST 0.663785 seconds [root@nephi /root]# uptime 10:43am up 44 days, 23:30, 2 users, load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00 So thanks again. :-) Drew At 09:47 AM 12/7/2001 -0500, Paul Lussier wrote: >In a message dated: Tue, 04 Dec 2001 17:29:27 EST >Greg London said: > > >finally, my PC's clock has been messed up and I've never been > >able to get it right, so when I do a sync, jpilot sets my Handspring > >to the PC time. arghhh! > >Set your clock under Linux to be the right time using the 'date' >command.
