Over the years I have seen this happen a few times. The last time was when I set the time 1 hour back to switch to winter time. (Yes I know I should set UTC instead of local time.) Another cause could be another OS moving the hardware clock back or forth. The remedy has always been to remove /etc/adjtime after setting the clock. It is recreated automatically. I do not fully understand it myself though; from the manpage of hwclock I understand that the time drift starts when 'hwclock --adjust' is executed. I am not aware of the fact that this takes place automatically somewhere. (Anyone?) -- S.H. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
