I was unfortunate enough to try setting the date under ultrix while in multi user mode. this has resulted in my machine having different ideas about what time it is, in different circumstances. in single user mode, times are 1 hour off what they are in multi-user mode. also, after logging into the machine, all the initial applications started by the session manager see the same time as in single user mode. subsequent csh's etc. see times 1 hour later. I have tried to resync these by resetting the time in single user mode and in multi user mode to no avail. They are always one hour off. how can I fix this? this is an intolerable state of affairs, and the manual page simply says "CAUTION: never do this." --thanks in advance! -- +-------------------------------------------------------+ | nick caruso (617)349-3644x291 | | icad incorporated, 201 broadway | the opinions above are probably the result of a | peoples republic of cambridge, MA 02139-1901 | biochemical imbalance of some kind. they dont reflect |Internet: nick@icad.com / UUCP: ...uunet!icad.com!nick | icad's policy in any conscious or official way. +-------------------------------------------------------+

You have to ensure that the system's idea of time and the timezone
info agree. Check the system's config file (in
/sys/conf/{vax or mips}/whatever) for the "timezone" line, and
then ensure /etc/timezone/localtime points to the correct file-
conversion algorithm.
