It seems my box gets confused between its CMOS (motherboard battery-preserved date and time) and the OS's time/adjkerntz/timezone/timed/ntpdate/etc/etc/rc.conf! >:-( {Well, according to my box it is 22:20 PDT, whereas it is really 23:20 as I write this sentence.} prompt$ grep -i time /etc/rc.conf ### Important initial Boot-time options #################### tcp_keepalive="YES" # Enable stale TCP connection timeout (or NO). nfs_access_cache="2" # Client cache timeout in seconds ### Network Time Services options: ### timed_enable="NO" # Run the time daemon (or NO). timed_flags="" # Flags to timed (if enabled). ntpdate_enable="YES" # Run ntpdate to sync time on boot (or NO). xntpd_enable="NO" # Run ntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO). nis_ypset_enable="NO" # Run ypset at boot time (or NO). nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot time (or NO). nis_yppasswdd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or NO). blanktime="300" # blank time (in seconds) or "NO" to turn it off. Is there an all-in-one-peace-of-mind daemon to run to guarantee the correct, accurate time? Actually, are there two daemons to run -- so that the box knows its GMT offset *and* the current time in GMT from a time server? Thanks all, from Peter, at 22:22 PDT, oops, 23:22 PDT PS.
