Re: Set date & time automatically

I have 10.4.6. The clock had stayed correct. Three or four weeks ago,
I noticed in System Preferences that the "Set date & time automatically"
box was unchecked. I checked it.

My clock got farther and farther behind for a couple of weeks until I
unchecked the box. At that instant, the clock caught up. I put a check
in the box again. Over a week the clock got farther behind until I
unchecked the box.

Do you have the system set up to the correct timezone? If not, the
system will slowly "correct" the time to one that may be correct
elsewhere.
