Re: Time Problem

[Al Sparks <data345 yahoo com>]

While running ntp is a good thing, another thing to look at are your
hardware clock settings.  What I do when setting up a new machine is go
into 
    /etc/sysconfig/clock
and set UTC=TRUE.

I then run
    /sbin/hwclock --systohc -utc
as root.

You probably want UTC to be false if you've got a dual boot system with
one of the MS OS's.  If not, however, since linux likes to think in GMT
(or UTC) I think it's best to change it.

Of course, the hwclock command isn't guaranteed to work with all
hardware, but if it does work with yours, it should solve the problem.

Ntp is for miniscule clock drifts.
