Also, ensure you have the correct timezone set (see package timeconfig). And you will need to set approximatly the right time before starting to use xntpd. After that, run xntpd at each machine startup, and youll never have to set it again. -- - Antony Suter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "Examiner" openpgp:71ADFC87 - "And how do you store the nuclear equivalent of the universal solvent?"

The bios or real time clock (RTC) do not store zone informations. When you boot the kernel sets the system time (linux's time) from the RTC, but the catch is how does the kernel interprets this time datum, as a UTC time or as the local time? You configure that on the "/etc/sysconfig/clock" file. You can also use "hwclock" to set the RTC from the system time or vice versa. Be aware that if you have a dual boot system and you set the RTC to UTC in one OS and to localtime in another, you will have an incorrect time in one Os or the other, adn if you fix it in one the other will go wrong. The amount of time error should be you time zone in your case I guess is 4 hours. = Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Simple fix: If you have internet access, use one of the available ntp time servers in your time zone to reset your clock. This also sets the GMT offset, etc. You can find the URL of the primary or secondary ntp time server nearest you by searching for ntp on google. While connected to the internet, in a terminal say: ntpdate If there is no ntpdate command, you need to install the xntp3 RPM from your distribution. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
