Here is what is on /etc/init.d/boot:

 # Set and adjust the CMOS clock.
 clock -s $GMT
 if [ ! -f /etc/adjtime ]
 then
   echo "0.0 0 0.0" > /etc/adjtime
 fi
 clock -a $GMT
 # Now that /usr/lib/zoneinfo should be available, announce the   local
time.
 echo
 echo "Local time: `date`"
 echo 

But when I do "date" and "clock" I get two different times. The
time I get from "date" is way off. So I usually do "clock -s"
and everything is fine. Any idea as why?

Thanks for any information,
David
