<DIV><SPAN class=669002217-14122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have had a problem
with the hardware clock drifting on a few of the remote systems I
administer. I was keeping the system time accurate by synchronizing with
Internet time, but on a system restart the time would revert back to the
hardware clock time. I was not aware I could set the hardware
clock until I came across this article in the Linux
Gazette: </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=669002217-14122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have now made
similar routines that daily set the system time to Internet time and then sync
the hardware clock to the system time. This fixed the problem of having
the hardware clock set the system time incorrectly on startup. This is
particularly helpful since the three of the DXSpider systems are about 160 miles
away and a fourth system is about 70 miles away.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

specific information, please don't hesitate to ask.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
