From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: bumped back another 4 hours. For me this meant time was almost standing still because I reboot several times a day for varying reasons. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install redhat, set the hardware clock to UTC 2. run one of the time configure programs (I believe I used the one in the Gnome menus. Unset hardware clock set to UTC 3. reboot a couple of times and watch your hardware clock go backwards. Additional info:
You need to specify exactly which program you used.
I tried using every program I could find to change the time and none seemed to work. The first I tried was the one built into KDE. Then I tried the control-panel. Then I tried the one built into gnome. Then I tried the timeconfig command line (curses based).
Timeconfig works in this respect - I use that functionality 3-4 times a week (when I do an install in a different language and forget to change the default timezone). If you can track it down to a specific component with problems, please file it against that component.
