Does your system know which time your hardware clock is set to? Other
info you posted leads me to think that it does not.
mandrake uses /etc/sysconfig/clock
which stores what the hardware clock is set to
ARC=false
UTC=true
ZONE=Pacific/Auckland
that /etc/localtime is a symlink to whichever time zone you're in. In my
case, this is /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern, and my BIOS clock is set to
this is similar in mandrake
GMT. There's another setting in /etc/rc.conf that deals with whether the
BIOS is set to GMT or local time.
Does Mandrake have similar files? If not, there's probably a cute
graphical widget somewhere that controls it. ;)
yep there are too many graphical widgets, but they are all reading the same
configuration info and the system is reporting the time correctly with the
date command (even vmware corrects windows time)
so unlike dual booting systems where windows gets it wrong, running windows
in vmware will get it right, albeit with the hardware clock set to a
timezone half a planet away. BUT pan records the time of a post incorrectly;
