My computer clock is going crazy

[Rastar]

I know there is a program to run to keep your system clock sync'd up to a real clock. Unfortunately I dont remember the command nor the server address.

Also does this set the bios clock or is that another problem?

Thanks

its rdate -s <timeserver> to sync up with a public timeserver from the internet .. its best to put this into rc.local to sync up at startup or put something into a cron job to do it every 6 - 12 hours or so. This should also set the correct bios clock.
Timeservers can be found here : http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm

hth,

Okay thanks but one more thing I have not spent much time looking at the rc.local or putting it into a cron job. Any help with configuration for those?

rc.local depends on your distro, check /etc/rc.d/rc.local if it exists then just put the rdate command on the last line there
cron do as root:
crontab -e
then the format is
min hour day month dayofweek command

*'s mean anything so you prolly want:
0 3 * * * /full/path/to/rdate -s <server>

i picked 3 just cause, use any time you want, remember tis a 24 hour clock
