Re: [gentoo-user] system time/hw clock

[Lucas Sallovitz]

Sorry, I don't know how to solve your problem, but you sure didn't solve 
it as your mail has a tiemstamp of 11/25 1:37 am being 11/24 8:46 here :)

Does anyone know the answer to my original question.  Up until about
a month ago I was keeping good time both in windows and in gentoo
with my hwclock set to local.  Now for some reason everytime I boot
gentoo it thinks that the hwclock is set to UTC and corrects for that
ie) it sets the time 8 hrs earlier.  So where do I look other than
rc.conf to correct this??
       

If at some point in the past, you booted the system with UTC in
/etc/rc.conf and then switched it to LOCAL and shut your system down.  It
saved the offset time as the local time.  Essentially, your system clock
was set back 8 hours.  The only fix is to manually update the time
yourself using 'date'.
     

And then deleting /etc/adjusttime ?

I have sort of solved my problem, but not completely.
My link to my time zone at /etc/localtime had disappeared, when I re did that 
and deleted /etc/adjtime my system was back to normal.  After rebooting again 
today, however again the /etc/localtime link had disappeared.  Any 
suggestions as to why this keeps getting deleted?  Is there anyway to track 
what program is deleting it?

Thanks I am very close.
