- Howdy There again!
-
- I cannot seem to set the system date successfully. I can run date
- without any problem, but when I shutdown -r now. Upon reboot the date
- comes back wrong! The date actually comes back to what it was before
- I changed it. I have done the following:
-
- rm /etc/localtime;
- ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central localtime
- date 9301122231.00
-
- ...
-
- Date then reports the set time and the syslog shows the entry, but
- after shutdown and reboot the date comes back as what it was before I
- did the date set.
-
- Thanks for any help.
