Kernel time - 'date' not correct

by Dan Warre » Tue, 12 May 1998 04:00:00

Can someone tell me why my CMOS time is correct (shows correct in
/var/log/messages) but the date command shows the time off by 5 hours.
This throws the time in my e-mails off. How can I make them the same
time? I think my TZ variable is set but don't know how to find out
where.

Thanks

1. 'date' and 'clock' show different times

Dear All,

The time that the 'date' and 'clock' commands show
are different (exactly an hour). I have used the commands
timeconfig, setclock, date and clock commands to fix it
but I couldn't. A friend in this group told me to check
the timezone and I used 'timeconfig' to do this but still
the times shown by these commands are different.
I am using RedHat 5. Even with the clock in the control-
panel I couldn't fix this problem.
Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Please send a copy of your reply to my email-box if
possible.

Regards - Hossein
