Well I can say that it's the greatest number of responses received since I joined this list and thank everyone for their concerted efforts.
This morning I played around with hwclock and at first was unsuccessful in changing the state of things; I tried hwclock --set --date="4/10/2002 8:47:22" and it said that it received a 3 byte answer in addition to some return values from, I guess, the kernel's time related functions; but my clock was still stuck around March 23 of 1934. I tried setepoch but that doesn't work on non alphas I think. Next I did hwclcok --epoch=1970 and hwclock and the time had changed. Next I rebooted the system only to notice the the system time from /etc/localtime was being written to the hwclock; so upon reboot I performed previous steps and then used hwclock --hctosys and ran the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh. I rebooted and everthing I'm happy to say is going well. Thanks everyone for the hints and help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
