This entire clock conversation got started when someone indicated that my being on local time was the cause of my fsck running every time I boot up. Somehow, I don't think advancing my clock 6 hours (I think that's how far behind GMT I am here in the Central zone) will fix that problem. It doesn't really seem logical that that is what is causing it, but maybe I'm wrong. Greg Wallace -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
