    Hi, I'm very happy with Suse but I 've got the following two problems.

    Desktop with Suse 8.1 :
    Some time ago I changed the clock on the KDE desk. From that moment,
    the clock is always wrong. Generally a couple of days behind, wrong
    time and time zone.
    I set it every time, but, when I log back in, it's crap again.
    The clock in the BIOS and from win98 is correct, so it's not the clock chip.

    Laptop with Suse 9.0 :
    I've got an Inspiron 5150 and I'm very happy with it. However, when I start
    the
    machine, I always end up logged in already.
    It does not ask for a password or anything, just gets me in my main account.
    The desktop (and an older laptop) with Suse 8.1 always ask username and
    password.

    Any suggestions for the above problems ?

    Thanks,

    A.
