"clock -w" is screwing up the CMOS clock. See:
# cat /etc/timezone
US/Pacific
# clock -r
Wed Aug 28 00:52:27 1996
# date
Wed Aug 28 00:51:54 PDT 1996
# clock -w
# clock -r
Mon Aug 11 00:07:58 2031
# clock -wu
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# clock -r
<hangs: goes into tight loop>
Is there anything here I'm missing (e.g., related
programs/packages/settings)? The segmentation violation and hanging
of clock -r is worth a bug report to be sure, but could the -w
failure be a mis-configuration of the timezone or Universal time on
my part? I had answered "no" to the Universal time question at
install (due to [EMAIL PROTECTED] DOS). I just ran tzconfig to change
/etc/timezone from Factory to US/Pacific thinking that was my
problem.
