<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The your hardware clock is set to UTC (or GMT, Greenwich Mean Time) and then your timezone is taken into account to determine the actual, local time<br />
<br />
== configure timezone ==<br />
on gentoo:<br />
/etc/timezone<br />

<br />
update time with ntp-client<br />

==Setting the hardware clock during shutdown ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Hardware clocks are not very accurate. (See the NTP.org article on clock quality.)<br />
<br />
To avoid this, you can set your hardware clock during shutdown. <br />
<br />
For baselayout >= 2.0.0:<br />
File: /etc/conf.d/hwclock<br />
<br />
clock_systohc="YES"<br />
<br />
<br />
== manual synchronization ==<br />
<br />
to synchronize your hardware time with your system time <br />
hwclock --systohc<br />
<br />
Again, to check your work, run:<br />
hwclock --show<br />
<br />
If the following error is received:<br />
hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.<br />
<br />
Then the real time clock is most likely not enabled in the kernel. Set in kernel config:<br />
