Re: clock/time

[Andree Leidenfrost <leidenfrost@dkrz.de>]

Hi Timothy,

to my knowledge, Debian is reading time and date from CMOS when booting.
Make sure you have the right timezone, the correct CMOS time - either
local or GMT - and that the system knows what it is - local or GMT.
Besides, under Debian you can read and write the CMOS clock with the
clock command in /sbin (not /usr/bin/X11).

Further, you might want to have a look at the adjtimex package. It
corrects CMOS clocks which are usually notorious for either speeding or
creeping.

Regards,

	Andree
