I'm experiencing windows time (which is right) being constantly 10-12 minutes behind GNU's time: $ cmd.exe /c time /t ; /bin/date 09:21 Fri Jul 29 09:33:22 WEDT 2011 I've seens this for several weeks on this PC now. Why is that? If it were 1 or 2 hours, I'd say it a TZ issue ... Have a nice day, Berny
