I think a large part of the inertia on doing much about this is, is that other than at boot time the hardware clock is generally ignored, giving a prevailing attitude that the program is fixed elsewhere. Often it is, the clock will simply be set sometime during boot. It doesn't help you with log files, but the general public doesn't look at them. Though sometimes clocks will be so far out of time that automatic systems abort trying to set them. Windows has got better at managing itself over a daylights savings change, but still stuffs it up under some circumstances. For some people they won't care that the computer's clock is mis-set, until things they want to do over the internet foul up. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.76.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 10 16:21:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
