Yes! ;-) > And yes, the clock in the BIOS is set correctly. If you are brave, try looking at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/TimeInLinux. If nothing else it gives you the instruction for syncing your computer clock to a remote clock, which may be a quick and dirty way of (mostly) solving your problem, especially if you do it periodically (at every boot or via a cron task, not explained on that page). The page mentioned is from WikiLearn, a site dedicated to dealing with computer problems and learnings -- this page is definitely under construction and some of the explanations (under rants) are definitely inaccurate. Corrections gratefully accepted, and in fact, since it is a wiki page, you can register (at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration) and edit the page yourself. The reason I mention this page in it's very unfinished state is to solicit help in getting it finished and correct. At one time this was a hot issue for me, but currently, getting the page 100% correct is pretty far down on my todo list. Nevertheless, I think it could be helpful for others. Randy Kramer
