But when I reboot the old incorrect time comes back. I think you have your answer from others, but one thing wasn't made very clear: When you set a FreeBSD (or any other BSD) clock, you automatically set the CMOS clock as well. This is why there is not hwclock(8) program. I can't understand why Linux requires these separate steps. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
