[gentoo-user] gentoo forgets DATE adjust

When I was installing my system I typed the date and hour wrong , and
didn't noticed, and as far my computer knows, today is tomorrow, two hours
wrong...

I thought it was ok to change later, but actually, I can't. If I type the
date command to change time, it changes ok, but when I boot, my system
forgets it, and it's tomorrow again.. I've tried some ideas from the web,
but nothing worked..

Is this a known bug?

Consider setting the time in your BIOS.

Alternatively, read man hwclock and set it with that.

Oops!  I forgot to say:

Instead of doing this manually, check your /etc/conf.d/hwclock is set up 
correctly and that rc-update -s -v shows:

  hwclock | boot

Edit /etc/conf.d/hwclock and set clock_systohc="YES". Make sure hwclock
is in runlevel boot.

If you have an internet connection during boot-up, you should also
emerge net-misc/ntp and add ntp-client and ntpd to runlevel default.

Hope this helps,
Florian Philipp

it works! I had set only clock_hctosys before.

Thanks
