Re: [cobalt-users] at reboot date is incorrect, apparently hwclock --hctosys isn't being executed

[Paul Ferwerda <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know if the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script is executed upon startup?  If it is, it isn't clear to me why the code in there to set the clock isn't being executed.  I guess I could try putting the code that does the --hctosys in the rc.local.
