Generally, you want to get the windows clock set right first (use the ability
for windows to update to internet time) and then boot to Linux. Use Yast ->
System -> Date and Time to configure your timezone and _uncheck_ the box that
says "Hardware Clock set to UTC" and your times should then match.

Thank for the suggestions. I got a chance to work on this issue lately (I have not been dual booting till now).
Basically, the UTC sync works, however, I do not know how often it re-syncs. You would think there was an
option to select every minute, hour, etc... interval to re-sync. I could not find such an option. What I did find
was an option to sync at boot time and that perfectly solves my problem. I don't care if the M$N clock drifts
or goes out of sync on occasion, but I do want my linux clock as accurate as possible at all times.

Only ONE time, while booting. The CMOS clock, which is the one you set to UTC or Local (you need local) is used only one time.


For continuous or repetitive discrete timesetting, you use the "ntp".
