The problem of automatic synchronization of date and time after every reboot can be solved with the following crontab job.
1. Open a console (can be done with Alt+F2 and "konsole") and enter the following commands.
2. Make (for this session) KWrite the editor for this change of crontab.
for Pardus 2011
export EDITOR=/usr/bin/kwrite
for Pardus 2009
export EDITOR=/usr/kde/4/bin/kwrite
for Pardus 2008
export EDITOR=/usr/kde/3.5/bin/kwrite
3.Start the editor for crontab
crontab -e
4 An empty Kwite screen will appear now and copy/paste the following line in this Kwite screen
@reboot ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org > /dev/null 2>&1
make sure that this line is terminated with a <enter> (otherwise this will not work).
5. Save and Close KWrite.
6. Check your modification by
crontab -l
You can check this by modifying the date/time in the BIOS of your computer and see what happens after the reboot.
