You obviously haven't searched the archives Please do so before posting; it'll save you from getting flamed. Your question is rather old (so you'll get an old RTFA, dating back to 2001). http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=100897442502411&w=2 -- Subject:Re: system clock set to local time From: Dimitry Andric Date: 2001-12-21 22:32:33 On 2001-12-21 at 09:59:35 Matt Wilbur wrote: MW> I have a laptop running 3.0 and dual booting to Lose2k.

And you should be set... :) But a warning is in order: Windows likes to actually MODIFY the hardware clock when DST changes (insanity, really!), so then your OpenBSD time will be off 1 hour again. So maybe it's better to uncheck "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" in the Win2k Date/Time control panel. -- DS

What's wrong? Are you in China? "it's PRC" so yes. My real question, though, is: do you mean that the great firewall of china is blocking marc.info? Does it give any message when it does, or can you just not talk to it? Can you DNS it (`nslookup marc.info`)? -Nick
