A closer look: It appears 6AM was a one-off. Last night before shutdown I set the correct time. This morning at 9:17AM date gave 3:17 w/ correct day, date, time zone. So it looks like it's picking an hour at random but gets everything else correct. > > 2) If you reboot, the time counts from 6AM + the > elapsed time of > all previous reboots up until the last cold boot. > whatever time has elapsed since first cold boot is added *correctly* to the incorrect original time every time I reboot. For instance, the clock on the wall says 12:40PM. I've just rebooted for the second time and date gives 6:40 which is what it *would* be if the original time, 3:17 had been correct, since approx two and a half hrs have elapsed. > > 3) Behaviours 1 and 2 doesn't change if you set > the time yourself. > i.e., on the next boot/reboot the same thing will > happen. > > Does that summary seem correct? Yes. Whatever time string I give to date after rebooting, the clock resets to the original, wrong time after another reboot. BTW this applies to xclock as well. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
