X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 09 Nov 2007 02:14:00 -0000 Hello again; Here I am with another awkward question: I have set up ntp and it is complaining that the time difference is too great; 3606 or so seconds, and wants the system clock set to utc. I rebooted and entered bios set up but I did not see any explicit clues on how to set this clock to utc. (0r even if it is possible). The motherboard is ECS w/AMD64. I did not catch the bios vendor or version. If I have to I will reboot again to look at it or dig up the manual for the motherboard. I tried sysinstall but it just asks if the system clock is set to utc. (thus the question here) Any advice, suggestions, info appreciated; Thanks in advance Jeff K
