Hello Meino, date, reads the "software clock" hwclock -r reads the "hardware clock" hwclock -r ; date so I use this to manually check if they are syncd. If not use this to set the hwclock hwclock --systohc if the hw clock is correct otherwise hwclcok --set (to use the date as the setting for the hwclock. Note: on different hardware from different vendors, occasionally you run into a hardware clock that does not cooperate. Somethings booking from window to set the hwclock will work. Other times you are SHOOL (shi out of luck). Now look at man hwclock and use those optinos to correct what your issue is. As other have pointed out NTP has it's own nuances that must additionally be considered. As well as any kernel issues, which I did not address. Good Hunting! hth, James
