The internal clock can either be counting in UTC or your local time. If it is using UTC, Linux translates the clock to local time when requested. The Windows way is to use your local time. The Unix way is to use UTC. If you are dual booting, you don't want to check this setting. If you want a warm, fuzzy feeling, you want to check this box. > My non root user account uses several date and time calls that need to > return the correct time. Does anybody know how I can fix this problem? I've often seen RH's tools get permissions wrong, causing strange errors like this. I'd start by checking permissions on /etc/localtime. Mine are: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root /etc/localtime -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED], AIM:StuartMJansen> Programming in Java feels like C without the sense of accomplishment.
