Hi! Debian stable on a SS1: gonzales:/home/waldner# date Mon Jan 1 03:13:26 CET 1968 gonzales:/home/waldner# date +"%s" -63150389 Negative ctime?! Ok, it lost it's NVRAM again, but here comes the (for me) confusing part: gonzales:/home/waldner# /etc/init.d/ntpdate start Running ntpdate to synchronize clock. gonzales:/home/waldner# date Sun Mar 4 12:06:29 CET 1934 gonzales:/home/waldner# date +"%s" -1130676319 The ntp-server has the correct time, that's out of the question. Any hints on how I could reliably fix that? I can set the time to something closer to reality, then ntpdate works, but that seems especially ugly if done in an init-script. gonzales:/home/waldner# date -s "Sat Jan 1 00:00:00 CET 2000" Sat Jan 1 00:00:00 CET 2000 gonzales:/home/waldner# date Sat Jan 1 00:00:02 CET 2000 gonzales:/home/waldner# /etc/init.d/ntpdate start Running ntpdate to synchronize clock. gonzales:/home/waldner# date Fri Mar 22 15:24:41 CET 2002 cheers+tia, &rw -- -- Airplane travel is nature's way of making -- you look like your passport photo.
