Hi Oliver, Thanks for the help.
This file /etc/wall_cmos_clock was missing, so I created an empty one. The CMOS clock was successfully updated when I invoked 'adjkerntz -a'. However, how should I make this automatic, something that will update the CMOS clock everytime the kernel clock is syncronized with a NTP server? Do I need to make changes on the variables below? # sysctl -a machdep machdep.adjkerntz: 0 machdep.disable_rtc_set: 0 machdep.wall_cmos_clock: 0 machdep.conrclk: 1843200 machdep.gdbspeed: 9600 machdep.conspeed: 9600 .... --- On Fri, 2/13/09, Oliver Fromme <o...@lurza.secnetix.de> wrote: > Hello, > > Do you have a file /etc/wall_cmos_clock on your system? > If so, that would explain the behaviour very well. > If you want your CMOS clock run at UTC instead of local > time, you have to remove that file. > > Apart from the Handbook you might also have a look at > the adjkerntz(8) manual page.
