If you change /dev/time behind its back, it will gladly "fix" it next time it checks. Timesync is started in termrc. It looks to me like it should by default be syncing against /dev/rtc, but run psu -a |grep timesync and check that it is really running with the -r flag. If it is, perhaps there is a bug in timesync that needs to be found. Russ
