Re: Goodbye, people!/Digressing to time.
Are you in the CST time zone (6 hours from UTC)?
If that is the case, you might be configured to use UTC but are net
setting it that way. After you set the system clock, you need to set the
CMOS clock with 'hwclock --systohc --utc'.
Here is what I put in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/checktime:
#!/bin/sh
rdate time.nist.gov
hwclock --systohc --utc
Everytime I connect to my ISP, it resets the system clock from a time
server and then resets the CMOS clock. It works fine for me. If you
don't set the system clock to UTC, delete the "--utc" parameter from the
hwclock command.
