ZopeTime wrong but Hardware Clock right.
Zopesters, Why would the ZopeTime be 7 hrs slow compared to my hardware clock? -- Jason Spisak webmaster@hiretechs.com
Jason, You wouldn't happen to be at GMT-7 (MST or CDT)? On UNIX the hardware clock is set to GMT and the timezone is used to print the correct local time, with all times stored using GMT. Windows (98 at least, not sure about NT) sets the hardware clock to local time. Most Linux distributions allow you to choose to set the hardware clock to local standard time or GMT for the cases where you are dual booting. Zope correctly figures out the time zone and prints the adjusted local time (using the same system calls that other programs use). Hope that helps... Bruce Jason Spisak wrote:

Bruce, Actually I'm at PST. I'll try to see if it's running GMT or local time. Thanks, Jason Bruce Elrick writes:
