System Time Problems.
Hello, For some reason our Debain server thinks the BIOS clock is set to UTC, when it is really set to local time (PST). So when I set the timezone to Pacific/US, it offsets, based on the BIOS time, -8, making the system 8 hours behind. How do I change the settings that tell the system what the BIOS clock is set to. The only time i remember this question being asked is during the install process. All help appreciated. -- Nick Jennings -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
