When you shutdown your machine, it should save the system time to the hardware clock. You can also set the time from the command line with the 'date' command (see 'man date'), or get the time from a time server (once) with the command 'rdate -s time.nist.gov' (US server, not responding from here atm) or 'rdate -s time.nrc.ca' (Canadian server). Once the system (software) clock is updated, you can then write the time to the hardware clock with 'hwclock --systohc'. Strong recommendation: turn on NTP (network time protocol) if your network environment is appropriate (i.e., usually connected to the internet and can initiate outbound connections to servers) -- your system will then periodically contact time servers and try to keep your local clock on-track. 'chkconfig ntpd on' should do the trick. -Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
