Re: Setting Time on RHL 9

Do you mean redhat-config-date?
Why bother with adjtimex anyway? It looks like repeated use of hwclock -s 
and hwclock -w would do the trick. Is it that adjtimex allows one to 
execute it adjtimex at boot time in rc.local whereas hwclock is not useful 
there?
My wife's computer has adjtimex installed and a man page for it. She's 
using the RHL 9 (non-enterprise). When I go to the web and look for a man 
page, I can't find one either. Supposedly it's in section 8, but when I 
search some sources for section 8, nothing. What's the story there (not in 
8 and not on the web)?

Running dateconfig (can't remember the full path, I am on my solaris

the time from an NTP server, but, as far as I can tell, does not return

the offset (the amount by which the time was changed).

I just started delving into a time problem I have on RHL 9, and 
discovered that I do not have an /sbin/adjtimex, only /sbin/hwclock. 
My clock seems to drift a lot at times, and then at other times (a 
different boot) is pretty reasonable. I looked in my 
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file and found it was pretty bare bones, only 
having remarks and a touch command. I would think adjtimex would be 
part of almost any install. Comments?
