Re: hwclock and time

[Sebastian Canagaratna <scanagar@canax2.onu.edu>]

Thanks, Laurent, for your suggestions. In my case, I had made
a foolish mistake. In the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, there are
two lines:

    hwclock --adjust $GMT
    hwclock --hctosys $GMT

Instead of just commenting out the first line, I had commented out
both lines. Once I put pack the 2nd line, deleted /etc/adjtime
and run hwclock to set the proper time, everything was OK.

Sebastian.
