Time Problem

[Peter Bagnall]

I dont remember the solution is, but I think I know what the problem 
is, for what it's worth...

MacOS and Linux use different ways of storing the time in the real time 
clock. One (and I forget which way round this is) uses UCT and the 
other uses local time. There is a way to force linux to do the same 
thing that MacOS does.

What I imagine is happening is that when you boot into MacOS, if you 
get the incorrect time and you change it, then, when you reboot into 
YDL it's wrong, so you change it there and so on back and forth.

I'm assuming that given the diff is five hours you're on the east 
coast, ie five hours behind UTC.

Maybe someone else will be able to provide the rest of the answer!
