I have seen this sort of nonsense when using AFS or Kerberos, which try to keep their own time, based on bad servers, and force their notion of time on the computer. If that's not your problem (and it most likely isn't), are there any interesting lines in /var/log/messages? Also, what does "hwclock" return? -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Feb 21 2005, 12 Adar I 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |When everything's coming your way, you're http://nadav.harel.org.il |in the wrong lane. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
