server time

I can't seem to set the server/system time so that it stays the same upon reboot.

For example, I set the correct time in SP, and using 'date'.

But when I reboot, the date is wrong. It seems to me like the hardware clock is not set properly.

How do I set the hardware clock properly so that time stays the same on reboot?

I'm using v40z servers running Debian 2.6 686 bigmem

Setup xntpd on your system and let it handle all the details. For example, building a simple ntp.conf that just has 1 or 2 entries of the sort "server ip.address.of.server" and then doing a svcadm enable on the ntp daemon will work wonders! :)

Off the top of my head I can't remember for sure, but I think ntp.conf needs to be created in /etc/inet. The NTP man page tells you how, but I can't remember if it's man ntp, man ntpd or man xntpd :) I haven't setup a new system in a little while...

On solaris, 'date' should set both the system and hardware clocks.Running Linux, you may need to run hwclock --systohc to force the hardware clock to be updated.-- Darren
