Date not Saving

Hiya,

Got an old Toshiba laptop (sattelite pro). I set the date for the session and it's all ok, but next time I reboot I get the following date

firewall / # date -u
Sun Aug 21 23:13:25 UTC 2005

For some reason It likes the 21st of August. Might be a hardware problem. But I find it extrange cos it should have gone back to something like 98 where the laptop was built or something ...

Looked on the bios and there is no option to set the date there (LMAO)

Ta.

Do you save clock at shutdown? Look in /etc/conf.d/clock

Cool

That was it. Changed it and after a reboot it's all still fine

Extrange. Never seen this problem with my other computers.
