[plug] Very odd date/time problem

[chris.griffin at swiftdsl.com.au]

Greetings fellow PLUGgers,

I have a box running RedHat 9.0 that seems to be giving me three different
times, eg.

[root at FWM01 root]# date ; date -u; hwclock
Thu Mar 18 15:32:05 WST 2004
Thu Mar 18 07:32:05 UTC 2004
Thu 18 Mar 2004 03:23:49 PM WST  -0.016948 seconds
[root at FWM01 root]#

I can understand the first two (system time and UTC offset or vise versa),
but , I set the hardware clock to the system time with the command
"hwclock --systohc" only about a month ago. Surely it has not drifted that
much? The box has been up for more than 97 days.

Any hints?
Regards,
Chris
