Yeah, this is a rather old version of hwclock, the version in potato is 2.4/2.10 I think. The easiest thing would be to get a newer util-linux, or if that would require a lot of dependencies for you, download the source and just compile a newer hwclock for yourself. It may have got messed up on 1/1/2000 because somehow the century byte got changed in an unexpected fashion when it changed. -Kevin -- Kevin A. Foss ---- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
