Check out /etc/init.d/hwclockfirst.sh, /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, and /etc/default/rcS, which seem to be the files responsible for starting the system clock. Also try 'man hwclock', which, way down, has useful information about the relationship between the hardware clock and the system clock. hth pw -- Patrick Wiseman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux user #17943 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
