Gerald,
Would that help with the cobalt raq3 time shift on reboot??
I have tried different things, Andy gave me some code to toss in on start
up, unfortunately that didn't help, sun was in the box and tried some
fix_timedrift.sh script, that didn't help, they suggested changing
batteries, did that. If I let it go 1 day after a reboot, wait until around
6 am my time, go in with WebMin I can sync the system and hardware time
then. Our other raq is fine.
