I've noticed over the past couple of days that everytime I reboot my
machine (a Pentium II 233 running RedHat 5.0), the time is incorrect.
Until I could take the time to figure out what was wrong, I've been
manually setting the time using the "date" command.
I finally discovered today that the problem traces back to the "hwclock"
command, which is run at startup in the rc.sysinit script. Invoking this
command with the "--show" option produces a "Segmentation fault (core
dumped)" error message. I suppose this is why my clock isn't being set
properly at startup.
Oddly enough, another Linux box at the same site, dual-booting Slackware
3.4 and RedHat 5.0 is doing the exact same thing, in both distributions.
This machine happens to be a plain Pentium 200.
I've tried re-compiling the hwclock program using the util-linux source
from sunsite.unc.edu: that didn't work either.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Adam Woodbridge
