Hi Dieter,

it took you 22 sec. to finish and send your mail. Pretty quick :)

My RTC seems totally bogus:

elfe:~# date; clock; cat /proc/driver/rtc 
Thu Jan 24 13:42:03 CET 2002
Thu Jan 24 19:12:04 2002  -0.144010 seconds
rtc_time        : 18:12:04
rtc_date        : 2002-01-24
rtc_epoch       : 1900
alarm           : 09:30:15
DST_enable      : no
BCD             : yes
24hr            : yes
square_wave     : no
alarm_IRQ       : no
update_IRQ      : no
periodic_IRQ    : no
periodic_freq   : 1024
batt_status     : okay

I thought, ntpd would take care of the RTC:

Jan 23 23:38:02 elfe xntpd[356]: ntpd 4.1.0 Fri Sep 21 14:42:26 GMT 2001 (1)
Jan 23 23:38:02 elfe xntpd[356]: signal_no_reset: signal 13 had flags 4000000
Jan 23 23:38:02 elfe xntpd[356]: precision = 9 usec
Jan 23 23:38:02 elfe xntpd[356]: kernel time discipline status 0040
Jan 23 23:38:02 elfe xntpd[356]: frequency initialized 58.785 from 
/etc/ntp.drift

Obviously it doesn't. 

I will take a look in the SuSE /etc/init.d scripts for this...
