In the last episode (Mar 10), Kelly Jones said: > What are the FreeBSD equivalents of hwclock (view/set the BIOS > hardware clock) and adjtimex (adjust clock speed)? I couldn't find > these two well-known Linux commands in ports? FreeBSD sets the hardware clock whenever settimeofday() is called (unless the sysctl machdep.disable_rtc_set is set). I don't think there's a way to retrieve the current hardware clock settings from userland. Linux's adjtimex(2) is called ntp_adjtime(2) in FreeBSD. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
