When I set it, it is absolutely correct and matches the system (CMOS) date. I then reboot and - shezam! it's jumped 12 hours forward. Reboot again - another 12 hour jump ... until the FreeBSD date is about 2 and a half days beyond today's date - and the CMOS date. When I set up the system I said that the system clock is NOT set to UTC - but just to be sure, I went back into sysinstall and re-set the time zone the same way (MST - Arizona). I suspect this has something to do with maybe the server that is synchronizing my time; but I don't recall how to synchronize my time with an up-stream server. Can't find documentation on it either. Any pointers? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Mortgage rates near 39yr lows. $420k for $1,399/mo.
