[cobalt-users] RE: NTP Servers Again - Given Up

[chae <chae@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yah...

My last comments on the NTP Problem was:

"...Cheers Eddy, this wasn't really affecting the server but it was bugging 
me knowing that it wasn't correct been eating away at me for weeks now. :)"

Well it's back again and niggling even more :)  The system time is okay but 
the hardware time is exactly 12 hours behind again. There doesn't seem to 
be a time over which it changes, could be less than an hour could be 1/2 a 
day. I'm going to put this down to an iffy motherboard - someone in 
previous posts did mention this could be the problem.

ntpdate and rdate both control the system time and can be adjusted via GUI, 
webmin and command line - what controls the hardware time and is there a 
separate command for this? What makes that run differently from the system 
time, why is there a hardware time?

AAAGGHHHH

Going to bed now
