Then check your time zone setting. Most likely, it is using NTP to make your local computer match up to an internet time server. This _should_ keep your local computer's clock always quite accurate (error measured in fraction of seconds). An improper shutdown can muck with it though, 'cause the "hardware clock" (which keeps time even when the computer is off) is _not_ the same as the "software clock" (which keep time when the computer is on). During a proper shutdown, the hardware clock will be updated from the software clock. And it usually works best to have the internal clock set to UTC and have the timezone set in your login. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
