Very Computer

Hi,

Having a time issue with DCE (distributed computing environment).

In order to synch with my Master, I needed to set the date by doing a
date -u to match the master and then to set the time again using the
date command.  

Upon reboot, my date time was out 1 hour from the Master.  The date -u
time was bang on.

To fix this, I did adjust my timezone offset.  I am in the EDT zone
(never mind that the U**x were selective about that!).  I have to set
the offset to -4 hours of GMT.  Even though this is incorrect, it did
fix the time problem I had when issuing the date command and did not
modify the time setting in the date -u command.

I would like to know if this will cause me future problems and if there
is a good way to fix this without disturbing the time settings.

Regards,

Synchronize your time wiht xntpd  daemon.
In /usr/samples/xntp you have sample files, hwo to configure.

Mit freundlichen Gr?en / Yours Sincerely

Alternatively, quicker, but nut so accurate, use "setclock serverhost"
and you will sync the clock to the time kept by serverhost.  For this
to work serverhost must run the time protocol on udp/37 and tcp/37.

setclock on AIX is identical to rdate found on other unix systems.

Villy

Or try timed.
