On a dual boot laptop (Win98 and Mandrake 9.0), the BIOS time is set to the local zone: Pacific Standard. In Mandrake, I go into Mandrake Control Center and set the time and the time zone (PST8PDT) and answer 'No' to the question "Is your hardware clock set to GMT?" When I select 'OK' the screen blanks for several seconds, then comes back.
But eventually over the next several hours, the date/time reverts to GMT. I set up a cron job to save the date/time each hour and this shows up in /var/log/messages: Mar 14 18:01:00 tribble CROND[3623]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 14 18:05:00 tribble CROND[3638]: (andyd) CMD (/bin/date >> $HOME/date.out 2> $HOME/date.err) Mar 14 19:01:00 tribble CROND[3641]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 14 11:53:55 tribble CROND[3666]: (andyd) CMD (/bin/date >> $HOME/date.out 2> $HOME/date.err) Note the sudden time change on the last line. What is going on? And how do I fix it? andy -- Andy Davidson [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you know what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
