I figured out some of the confusion I was seeing: 1) hwclock reports the time in LOCALTIME if you don't specify --utc or --localtime....
2) If you specify --utc or --localtime and the hardware clock is *NOT* set as you describe - the time could be reported wrong. 3) busybox date is just fine; uClibc is where timezone support is missing.... 4) asmutils date works fine, but does NOT support setting the clock... and supports fewer options (only -u and date formatting...) 5) /usr/share/zoneinfo/* seem to be more accurate (and more dependable) than the TZ time variable.... 6) There is a NTP client - ntpclient appropriately - which could replace rdate, if it is small enough... So.... how important is setting the time/date with date? Is rdate (or ntpclient) enough? -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
