Did I say something about windows? I only run gentoo on this box. As I said before, it ran for month, then some days ago I used the kde tool to change only the date, I just set the date forward for two month, because I wanted to test an application I wrote. I did a reboot tested my app, changed the date back went to bed, next day I realized time was off, date was still correct, timezone setting in kde was fine, timezone setting in rc.conf was still okay. So on everyboot the time was set back by 11 hours, deleting the /etc/adjtime file fixed it, it was created automatically again and is fine now.

This would be bad advice. I have this script and my machine works fine. It may be that you are dual booting with windows, and have one operating system storing time as the local time, and the other operating system storing time as GMT time and offsetting the GMT time by a certain number of hours for display. The other possiblity is that your time zones between your operating systems is screwed up. Or finally that your adjtime script was hosed in a more unique manner as different. -- Jim -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
