Re: Unexpected time change

If your are running ntp ntpd.conf your system may adjust its time. This however is done by making the clock run slower or faster to make the adjustment.

If this is happening at startup with a sudden time change, that is probably being triggered by scripting.

The startup script involved is in /sbin/init.d

Take a look at /sbin/rc2.d or /sbinrc3.d to find the soft link that triggers the time change.

Re: Unexpected time change

Hay I might be wrong. But after checking what SEP told can u check the batteries ? It may be the case if time is abnormal or slow or not changed
