Hi all.

This should be a simple one but I'm not finding how to fix this.

I have SuSE 9.1 and my system clock is gaining time at a dizzying rate.
Upwards of half an hour a week. I didn't have this problem on this machine
in 7.3. I don't like having to always reset my clock.

What might be causing 9.1 to be speeding up my clock settings? I am noticing
at shutdown that there is a one-line message that says (generic - not
verbatim) "hardware clock set to current time". What process is determining
what the time is?? Where can I kill it?

Thanks
