Well my clocks went back fine on Sunday. As yours is an hour out one has to ask: Have you got your time zone set correctly? Run "tzsetup"; when asked: Is this machine's CMOS clock set to UTC? If it is set to local time, or you don't know, please choose NO here! Choose NO, then select your timezone. Then run ntpdate manually. -- TTFN, FNORD Peter McGarvey System Administrator Network Operations, VIA Networks UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
