This is really odd. I have a dual boot system. I set the time by doing: rdate <host>; hwclock --settohc --utc ...where <host> is one of the naval time servers. I've been using ntp2.usno.navy.mil.
This seems to work fine. rdate -p <host>; date show the same time. the time is set in the CMOS clock. I checked this during a reboot. Here's the problem: If I shutdown, and either turn off the machine, or reboot to windows, when I come back, the clock will be behind exactly the amount of time between the shutdown, and the reboot. That is: If I shutdown Linux, eat dinner, and come back 1 hour and 17 minutes later and turn on the machine, the clock will be 1 hour and 17 minutes ahead!, using: rdate -p <host>; date My /etc/timezone is set to US/Eastern. HW clock is set to UTC. My /etc/defaults/rcS file has UTC=yes. Any help would be appreciated! Bryan
