System Time advances 1 hour each bootup; /etc/localtime linked to non-mounted file?

I'm still confused from time to time with Linux clocks and local time
....

I would trust Bill's insights/experience re: the localtime kludge and
chrony. I'm still trying to understand RH's compiled zone files
directory structure -- Bill?

Anyway, when I saw your post I looked up /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT
and noticed that all the entries look awfully "generic" and not likely
compiled with DST or BST or any other local "time change" adjustments
(rules). Perhaps these are not meant to be used in conjunction with
local time in the RTC.

Couldn't you use one of the more specific zone files, eg.,
[/usr/share/zoneinfo/] Europe/London where time change rules are
compiled into the zone file?

NTP and Firewall help needed.

Firestarter doesn't seem to write a file with the final rules, but I
commented out the one line with "-j LOG" I could find in the
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh script and that seems to have done the
job: no intruders are listed in /var/log/messages, ports are fully
stealthed (per http://grc.com "Shields Up"), and ntpd appears to be
keeping my clock updated. Many thanks Juha.
 

You're right. I need to find a copy of "Iptables for Dummies". :-)

1024 cylinder boundary

In comp.os.linux.setup, Amadeus uttered these immortal words:
 

Maybe. I first used GRUB in 2000 or 2001 because of a 1024 cylinder boundary
issue with LILO then went back to LILO for no reason whatsoever.

2.6 kernel install tutes

Posted: 27 Apr 2004 06:37 AM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup, Mike H uttered these immortal words:
 

You'll need a more up to date modules-init-tools among others to get a 2.6
kernel working with Woody. I use Sid and don't know how to get a 2.6 kernel
working with Woody short of adding an unstable APT source and getting the
required updates from there. Doing this /could/ break your system. There
may be backports available too. Just Google and see.

The information here works for creating my own kernel 2.6 deb packages (even
though it talks about 2.4, it'll make a 2.4 deb with Woody though) but
won't help you at the moment I guess:

PC does not power off with Mandrake 9.2

I had that problem with SuSE 9.0 Pro. SuSE Support said it was because my
Pentium 4 had hyperthreading and SuSE had installed the SMP kernel instead
of the default kernel.

After changing to the default kernel the PC powered off every time.

Well, I tried that, but the clock didn't get updated.

(How long might it take to do the job? perhaps I didn't wait long enough.)
(On the other hand, I didn't see any error messages.)

I can see that ntpdate is installed, though. Can anyone quote a
UK/European site I could try pointing it at, please?

Are you using devfs ?
If not and if you haven't created the raw device entries yet (looks like
you haven't), try
../MAKEDEV -v raw

Lenard,

Two additional things. First, I forgot to say thank you
for you help. Thanks! I really appreciate the help.

Second, I tried using the document you pointed me to
and I brought up the tool. In the tool, it looks to
me like the s/w thinks the ethernet interface is working.
I tried to ping my desktop on my LAN and got the following:

Sorry, typo it's of course "kiocluster". Unsure about the version
issue, it's kernel 2.6.5, but might be the reason, didn't checked
the 2.4.x sources until now.
