You can't keep both OS's happy under all circumstances without setting the
hardware clock in the BIOS or from the OS in some cases.

This isn't quite correct. Fedora reads the hardware clock on boot to set
the system clock and sets the hardware clock to the system clock on
shutdown. If the hardware clock is specified as UTC, then it is read as
UTC and the system clock set to the correct time for the current timezone
(DST included). If the hardware clock is specified as LOCAL, then on
boot, Linux assumes that the hardware clock contains the correct current
time (DST included). If the time is correct on boot, it will be set
correctly on shutdown.
See my other post in this thread for the implications for interaction with
Windows.

I found out that setting the resolution of the display to 800 x 600
worked for someone to overcome an installer problem. What options can be
used to pass these options to the installer?
I did not have to pass options to the installer earlier regarding
setting resolution specs.

Not too sure how to do that. Could be possible from the XFree config.

I don't use synaptic nor ALPS at all. What I have is whatever is already in
the kernel.
I don't get the tapping for the clit. Only the Pad.

write your script (perl does this nicely) to parse the line in the
shadow file.
In this case, 12671 + 60 is the password expiration, and 12671 + 60 -14
would be the date when notice should be sent out.
The account is automatically disabled at 12671 +60 +60 unless the
password gets reset.
You do not really care when they last logged in, you are only concerned
about password expiration and account getting disabled.
The time they last logged in has NO effect on when the password expires
or the account gets disabled, only the password change date as shown in
the shadow file affects that.

The key here is that Linux keeps time as UTS time
and with the ctime() library converts to a local
view of time for each user (a global view).
When the system shuts down by default it writes UTS time to the RTC
and on boots it looks at a battery driven local hardware Real Time
Clock (RTC) to discover what time it is.
Windows keeps local time and writes local time to the RTC.
Since the Unix/Linux default does not match the WindowZ view
Linux has the configuration option of keeping local time in the RTC.
On the Time Zone tab of:
/usr/bin/system-config-date
You will see a button that indicates that System Clock uses UTC.
If you check it you have the normal Unix/Linux use of the RTC.
Uncheck it and local time will be saved.
The configuration is saved in /etc/sysconfig/clock
and mine looks like:
ZONE="America/Los_Angeles"
UTC=false
ARC=false
What does your /etc/sysconfig/clock look like?

I don't follow you here. I understand that the chage "Inactive:" field
is meant to disable accounts that have been inactive (i.e. no logins)
for x days. Can you please clarify?

I started a reply I hope it doesn't post twice. I have win98 as a
second drive and someone on the list told me there is a bug in FC2 that
reports the drive geometry to windows wrong. I never looked up the bug
but you might see if it applies to win2k. I can't defrag the drive with
norton or the win util. it just gags on it so I am assuming they were
correct.

A couple of years ago a laptop running windows 2000 was having problems
keeping the correct time. Not sure why but it seemed that the time
would change by one hour sometimes but not others. I figured it had to
do with the day light savings time settings.
The resolved this problem by running a program called automacron. It
was an NTP like utility written for windows. This would reset the clock
correctly when the system was booted.
As others have said trying to resolve this any other way is futile.
Since then I have reloaded the laptop with FC2 and have not run windows
on it since.

Greetings;
I just made the usb driver for the prolific pl2303 serial-usb
interface a module, and I added the line:
alias char-major-188 pl2303
and rebooted. But I still had to modprobe it in by hand after the
reboot.
Whats the usual syntax for that in modprobe.conf?

You are, of course, correct. I should have said that you can get things
to be correct in both OS's, and reboot to either at will, by setting the
time to local on both sides. This will work 363 days per year... and
twice per year, you'll get thrown off.
I do not know of a "perfect" way to keep both clocks correct, showing
local time, and not upsetting each other. I just consider two time
corrections per year the "necessary evil" of dual-booting. :-(

I don't think Windows will use it. What we need is a Win32 client that will
issue DHCPINFORM to get the setting and invoke "net time /setsntp" to stash
it away, as well as starting the Windows Time service to use it.
For Linux, look at the ISC DHCP client. It has a script that gets all
options and rewrites various config files. I believe the RH-provided one
clobbers your ntp.conf if that setting is provided and an
interface-specific setting doesn't disable the overwrite. Just checked...
the package is dhclient (a subpackage of the ISC dhcp SRPM) and the script
is /bin/dhclient-script. Browse that to see how it works.
